And correcting the "time for gps-" is not really necessary.  gpsPhoto
accept skewing the time-stamp for matching gps-location.  But again, you
are altering the "originals" when you add gps data.

fwiw, I routinely alter the exif time-stamp in the raw files to syncronize
files from two cameras when I have failed to adjust the camera's clocks
before a shoot.  I also run a script to add a six digit date to the front
of the file name to sequence the shots, then correct the "file" date-stamp
to match the exif data.

And when I forget to initialize the gps data recorder on my phone, I use
google-earth to retrieve that data as usually my shots are groups from
only two to five locations (soccer games).
