I seem to have missed something here. Does the GPS info attached to the
photo give a degrees coordinate or a an actual location? That is, does it
include something like an address?

Probably not.

To do so presumably it would need a built in map as well in.

Right

Otherwise it will give you what my navigation device does, and that is a
set of lat/ lon coordinates which to my mind is not going to be all that
clear to the average user.


Unless you are a perfect geography geek, you're right, it doesn't make sense
even for the more advanced user. The real advantage of recording
geocoordinates in the exif is the possibility of using a mapping software
(such as google maps) to plot where the photos were taken

Note the Photoshop elements 5.0 has a feature that will do exactly that
if the geocoordinates are available, and even group your photos by
location, and slideshow those from nearby. Nice feature. Now all I
need is software to read my tracklog and apply it to the appropriate
photos....
