Yes that would be nice (+ combine with the conventional search methods).

Some related points:

A) Display a map with symbols and thumbnail on mouse-over:

When on a map which has symbols for the places where photos
have been taken, the corresponding thumbnail could be displayed
(and on-click be selected ...)
See http://jrhicks.net/67 for an on-line example...

B) Local storage of maps:

I would also like to see support for maps which a user can store
locally: not always one has a internet connnection and
there are many cases, where publically available maps
are not detailed enough and one has to use scanned maps (etc.).

However, I think that the original question is not yet answered:

How does one most conveniently supply images with GPS information
(if one does not have a GPS device)?
No problem for just one image or a bunch of images
at the same place. But for many?

Somehow something like a list of images to the left and

  ...                 [                    ]
  image_thumb_11      [                    ]
  image_thumb_12      [    MAP             ]
  image_thumb_13      [                    ]
  ....                [                    ]
                      [ Zoom In/Out| Move  ]

Clicking on some position in the MAP associates the corresponding
GPS coordinates to all selected images.

((Thinking of a hike in the mountains very detailed maps
might be needed, hence B) above))

Best, Arnd

P.S.: I just came across:
http://www.carto.net/projects/photoTools/gpsPhoto/
which is a GPL commandline tool to synchronize a gps (gpx)
tracklog with the date/time stamps of the image exif-data.
This even does support RAW (cr2 and nef) in addition to jpeg.
