There are so many pictures and points of interest marked in the wrong or inaccurate spots, I would think Panoramio/Google Earth would welcome and eagerly support a method to enter these items with the accuracy of a GPS unit. I'm new to this realm, so I would appreciate a note from anyone telling me that a GPS method has been devised or that one is being created. Johan poses a good thought.

It's available for debian/ubuntu under the gpscorrelate name, has GUI and command line interfaces. Should be easy to compile on other systems too. If you have an nmea trace, convert it to gpx with gpsbabel first, which is a great tool for gps data manipulation).

It's for Mac OS X and when you drop images on it, it gets the location that Google Earth is looking at and stores it in the Exif tags of the images. If you don't have a GPS device this is the easiest way I've found to tag pictures. Another useful piece of software (that I built) is Geotagger.
