I have seen in #111560 that the support for gps is in progress, but reading the issue I understand that \
it will only be useful if a camera can supply the gps coordenates.

I think that it could be nice to have a manual way (for many of as that doesn't have those cameras) to \
enter the coordenates, and instead of showing a mark in a map, it could open a browser or an embedded \
window or panel (perhaps konqueror can be embedded in a little panel), showing the satellite view of \
google maps of the given coordenate. That way one could see all picture associated to real satellite \
images without needing an expensive camera with an integrated gps. I don't know what would be better, if \
supply the gps coordenates or the google maps link.

It could be also nice to communicate to the google earth application, with a menu saying something like \
"show coordenates in google earth",... But well, this is very secundary, as google maps can do mostly the \
same using just a browser.

It's just an idea that could be a cool plug-in.
