Geotagging is a tedious process if you have to do it manually. Sam Javanrouh has an interesting post on how he does it in an automated way on his “daily dose of imagery” blog …
I have a small portable GPS Data Logger (Globalsat DG-100) in my camera bag at all times. A GPS Data Logger is a relatively cheap device, and it doesn’t have an LCD screen or any real time MAP features, but what this device does is when activated it records my location on an interval time. It has three customizable time settings, for example when I’m riding my bicycle I set it to every 30 seconds. The device can run for many hours, even days, logging my whole trip in every 30 seconds. The GPS Data Logger records the location based on the local satellite time.
Essentially he walks around taking pictures. All the while his location is sampled and logged. A piece of software matches up times to locations and writes to his pictures EXIF before uploading.
Elegant and not overly expensive! (well, probably a luxury, and something many cameras will eventually feature, but still cool 
)
If you are in the market for a GPS logger, there is a good review here of two options.
I rarely use Geotagging but this Sony looks a sweet option seeing as I am a Mac user.
Do you geotag? Do you do it like this? Let us know in the comments …

Speaking of “Getagging”: do you know locr? locr offers the ideal solution and makes geotagging exceptionally easy. locr uses GoogleMaps with detailed maps and high-resolution satellite images. To geotag your photos just enter address, let locr search, fine-tune the marker, accept position, and done! If you don’t know the exact address simply use drag&drop to set the position.
For automatic geotagging you need a datalog GPS receiver in additon to your digital camera. The GPS receiver data and the digital camera data is then automatically linked together by the locr software. All information will be written into the EXIF header, and can then be used by other applications.
