There are at least three ways to do this: directly with the appropriate hardware, per post-treatment of GPS and image files using the Geolocation Kipi-plugin (<ulink url="help:/kipi-plugins/geolocalization.html">Manual</ulink>) and per 'manual' insertion of known locations. </para> + <itemizedlist> <listitem><para>Direct GPS data insertion into the image files</para> + <para> To our knowledge there is at the time of writing no camera that integrates a GPS unit.

Once you are done, download the pictures and the GPS tracks, and run the above plugin. It will correlate the data in the time domain; so it is important that the camera be accurate in its clock setting (the GPS device is always accurate through the satellites). The positional accuracy interpolated from the track points can be as good as 20 meters.
