You don't want GPS builtin. Why? Because it is going to be mediocre at
best. It isn't an overly useful function if it takes 3 or 4 minutes for
it to find the salellites, It also isn't very useful if it keeps loosing
those satellites. You want something that is going to work and work well
you want to invest in a good GPS system one that connects fast and can
remain connected even under trees, unvalleies, in cities with buildings
all around, etc. Just make sure that it can export the waypoint data and
then you take that with one of the many free or for cost programs that
will take that data compare the information to your photos and then
embedd the data in to the images.



e.g. http://code.google.com/p/gpicsync/

Of course, I doubt any add-on GPS/software can tell what you are focussing
on in relation to the camera position.
