Yes.....although the following will work with just about any camera image.
I have an AMOD 3080 GPS tracker and use Geo-setter (which is free) to match the track log with the images. You can also reverse Geo-tag with it - i.e get the Location names etc from the co-ordinates.
It needs an Internet connection to be fully affective.
You can also manually add position data to images
I process all my RAW images in Lightroom and this reads the XMP files created by Geo-setter and produces keywords based on the IPTC field data from Geo-setter. It means in my Lightroom Library I can search for places by name or click on the Lat/Long Co-ords of a particular image and open its position on Google Earth or Yahoo Maps.
Geosetter will also produce KML files so that you can add tracks and images to Google Earth files for others to view.
Photoshop Elements can also read the position data and place pins on a Map....again this needs an Internet connection to be affective.

That would have been enough Colin, as the rest just went straight over my head, as I thought it might, is there a much much simpler explanation so I can grasp the concept, I sort of know you need to match the times to get accuracy, but as it's new to me as of yesterday when I found out my new phone camera has the capability, 8 megapixels on a phone, who's a thunk it
The AMOD captures where you are every second (by default). It timestamps these locations.
Your camera captures the images and timestamps each image with the date and time taken.
Geosetter reads the log file and matches the image date and time with the corresponding entry in the gps log. So its important that the camera time is set accurately.
Of course the question is then - what do you do with this once you've matched image to location.
Well, Geosetter puts the lat/long in the image file but it can also work out the names of the country, city location etc.
But this still begs the question - what do you want to do with this information?
The reasoning behind it is, we wild camp all the time, so if/when we find somewhere nice I usually put it in the Tom Tom, but I also forget to do it sometimes, but we do usually take a few pics, it might not be somewhere really memorable, just a nice place to stop for lunch or maybe overnight, and if I've taken a few pics we'll have the lat/long info there in the picture details long after we've downloaded the pics to the PC.
However the phone camera will do this for me now, so not a problem except I now need to remember to use the Canon, The phone camera and the Tom Tom too.
I did a query on the GPS website a while back to see if there was a way to attach a small pic to a Tom Tom POI, and whilst I found it could be done it was quite complicated and not available for my model.
