Geo tagging can be useful for more than personal indexing and keyword
filtering.
There are functions beyond the recreational. Try real estate,
terrestrial survey, crime scene photography, documentation of animal &
bird sightings, and all sorts of other research projects.

As to your personal preferences, that is always your option. Just
consider that it adds a whole new dimension to your use of keyword
indexing and filtering.

One thing that seems to be the best of both worlds is the rise of
bluetooth GPSes; there are now at least three different bluetooth
receivers that fit into the 10-pin socket, and will work with pretty
much any bluetooth-enabled GPS unit on the market.

I posted this question here last year and in the end bought a Nokia
mobile phone with GPS. Installed a Java application for the logging. The
phone doubled as a GPS navigation system, which we needed since we
rented a car during our last trip in Jordan.
The major reason for choosing the Nokia phone was the availability of
navigation maps for Jordan.

The phone is ok, although it occasionally crashed and had to be
restarted.

I now have .gpx data files which I can match with the images with an
application called geosetter.
