Hello Philip,

I personally use viewranger for this purpuse as well as for outdoor 
"navigation". Each time I start taking photos I start viewranger on my 
android, start recording a track and afterwards I can export all tracks 
relevant to a GPX file and use digikam to assign the GPS data to my photos 
based on photo creation time.

Since I sometimes  use bibble for raw photo file processing instead of digikam 
I wrote a simple script that assigns the GPS data from a GPX file to bibbles 
sidecar (.xmp) files and thus if I generate a jpg from the raw file in bibble 
and look at this file later on in digikam I see where this photo has been 
taken, since bibble includes the GPS info from its sidecar file into the EXIF 
section  of the jpg.

Have a nice day
Rainer
