One wish I would add :

- When a GPS track is loaded, display it on google maps using a semi 
transparent line above the map. Google maps API provides a way to do 
this, you just need to give an array of coordinates.

Here is an example :

The same could be done also for pictures (after sorting the currently 
selected picture according to exif time link them by a blue line)

Digikam rocks!
