what is a good gui for geotagging ?

what is my problem ?

i have old stills of a bike trekking along the "canal des deux mers" (from
Bordeaux to Sète, composed of canal de Garonne and canal du midi)

i want to geolocalize my about 300 stills
i want to geolocalize one stills about a particular lock and one still which
follows immediately in time and which is a little canal bridge (a bridge for
the canal running over a road or a river)

what are my data ?

my memory of this 2003 trekking
the  name of the lock in the picture, writed on the lock house :"Ecluse de
l'Avance"

then

1. i launch my exlorer -> tab 1

i google search "canal de garonne"

great, there is a wikipedia item "liste des écluses du canal de Garonne"

2. i open the wikipedia article -> second tab 2

great , i know the order of the locks along the canal and the distance betwween
two locks

3. i google search a tourist document

i found a map with the geolocation of the locks and its number(each locks ahs a
number) -> tab 3

4. i open "geotag" software

i ask for it to show on map my 2 stills with map and satellite views -> tab 4

i locate the lock with tab 3 and tab 4

now i must locate the canal bridge still

i know (tab 2) there is a distance of about 600 m (pk 165.927, pk 165.300)
between the lock and the canal bridge
i know the canal bridge runs over a little river

i see there is two rivers not too far the lock in geotag map (tab 4)

5. i open maps.google.fr -> tab 5

i go to "my maps"
i activate the "distance measurement tool"

i found this is the second little river which is at 600 m

i located the canal bridge still

6. during my work i do more than geotagging : i designed a good tool and gui
for geotagging

one window
several tabs, each one for a compnent-tool

perhaps it would be better to have in one window tool :

google maps "distance measurement tool"
map view
satellite view
pointer and thumbnail of the stills
ability to record in the stills the coordinates alt,long,lat
ability to find and record location name,city, region,country name

see the captured images fo my gui tab1, tab2, tab3, tab4, tab4bis, tab5
