Maybe I'm the last one to have heard about this, but I just came across http://wwmx.org/. The World Wide Media eXchange is a Microsoft experimental project that, among other things is working on identifying digital photographs by location. One way they're doing that is by providing a free download on this site that will let you automatically add coordinate information to your digital pix by either dragging and dropping them onto a map or by uploading track data from your (currently only Garmin) GPSr. It then identifies the location of the photo by comparing the timestamps in the track log to the timestamps in the photo data. There's lots of other stuff like that in this site as well.

I haven't tried any of it, and I'm certainly not endorsing any of it , but the site is worth a look. I thought there were a number of interesting ideas there.
