Unfortunately I don't have a camera which supports this, that's why I've put
this on the DK wish list. ;-)

So I can't provide any images. However, some investigation using Google seems
to indicate the relevant EXIF tags are "GPS Img Direction Ref" and "GPS Img
Direction" which are also mentioned here:
http://www.exiv2.org/tags-xmp-exif.html

Flickr supports displaying the EXIF data of uploaded photos, so a Google search
for 

  exif "GPS Img Direction" site:flickr.com

yields a number of hits for such photos, including the camera model, e.g.:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/gilbi/5997418061/meta/in/photostream/ (Sony
DSC-HX5V)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/35772676@N02/5876463774/meta/ (Casio EX-H20G)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/11573583@N02/5974310287/meta/ (Apple iPhone 4)

A huge number of photos found by this search has been taken by iPhones 4 or
3GS. Here's one which has been taken using a Canon EOS 500D:

Since that camera does not provide a GPS or compass, the GEO tags must have
been recorded with an external tagger, or have been added manually, using some
application which already supports this.
