Take the following ingredients and you might have something interesting. A bluetooth aware camera, capable of understanding and talking to a gps unit meta data capable of representing location and understanding groups of photos in the manner of a film reel, like
Original article: gps aware cameras
Whilst I believe there are GPS enabled digital cameras available in some advanced markets (ie. Japan) its not really necessary. Every photo your camera takes is timestamped. Your GPS can be set to automatically take a reading every x seconds/minutes/hours, etc. Just set the GPS to an appropriate interval (there is a memory/accuracy trade-off here), and start snapping away. Later you can match the list of waypoints to the timestamps on your photos. In fact, I do believe there is some software out there that will do this already, and will put the GPS co-ordinates into the EXIF header of your images. I tried searching for it before commenting, but I couldn’t find it. Good luck!

From there, it should be trivial to insert the coordinates into the image itself, if needed.
One thing that Ian Davis pointed out though, is that the bearing of the shot is missing (as well as the distance to the subject), so it’s not trivial to find images of a certain point with this approach, only images *taken from* a certain point.
