You don't have to have this camera -- there's a way to do this with any digital camera and a GPS. The World Wide Media Exchange is a project of Microsoft Research. They've got some free tools on their web site, including the WWMX Location Stamper, which you can download from their web site at http://wwmx.org/Download.aspx. Here's how it works. You go out and take some pictures, and you have your GPS with you recording a track log. When you get home, you run this location stamper program, point it at a directory of photos, and also feed it the saved GPS track log. The photos have the time stamp that says when they were taken, and the GPS track log knows exactly where you were at that point in time. This program combines the two and inserts the correct geotag data into each photo. There are some other tools on that web site as well, for creating map pages, etc.

The new Nikon D200 supports plugging in a GPS and adding GPS data to the JPG headers. Although, it's a bit more pricy than the Ricoh.
