You might try the geosetter program which has a map link and will set the
coordinates as you select points on the map. You can find it at:

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] geotagging analog photos
Background: a colleague has a pretty incredible collection of analog photos
(prints and slides) from various expeditions in Nepal. These are invaluable
photos because they offer a time-series view (repeated expeditions to the same
locations over many years) at a very high resolution.
Problem: there is no geolocation for these photos—where the photographer was
standing and which way he was looking when he took these photos.
Objective: Scan the photos and geolocate them, then pin them on a map of the
region.
For geocoding them:
- “fly” around on Google Earth/Maps trying to recognize the terrain from the
photo;
- use programs such as [Hey What’s That](http://www.heywhatsthat.com);
- construct a crowdsourcing application and get everyone and anyone involved.
I ask you, are there other solutions/approaches that come to your
geospatial-hive-mind ?
