My mobile/cell phone has GPS and allows the phone to record the position as part of the images metadata. This can be viewed when displaying the image and mine allows a click through to the map. The phone is 9mp so is OK for most conditions. I use Roots Magic which allows me to attach the co-ordinates to images. You can get GPS devices for most of the "professional" cameras e.g. Canon EOS. Having said all that I do find this messy and unusually just take a second image that includes a reference point such as the church.
