If you have a camera body that does not have built in or attached GPS receiver, your files will not have location data included when the files are imported into your post processing program. You can could shoot a few shots with a camera that does gave GPS.
That could be a phone, tablet, P&S camera.etc. You would then cut and paste the location data from the location aware shots onto the files that are missing GPS coordinates. Another approach is to use a device as a GPS location tracker that records a GPS location every x minutes and puts it into a file that can be exported in the GPX format. That tracking file can then be used to put lat/long coordinates by comparing the GPS time to the camera time. If any are you are using a dedicated GSP device to create the GPX logs that you use to process photos, what device are you using? If you are using a phone or tablet to do the GPX log creation, what app are you using on that phone or tablet?
Any and all feedback appreciated! I have a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx. If I have it with me while shooting, then I use Garmin's BaseCamp software to geotag photos using the tracklog from the GPS. It would be nice if I could just do this directly in iPhoto/Aperture, but (a) iPhoto doesn't have the capability at all, and (b) Aperture's implementation is truly idiotic. If I don't have the GPS with me, I might use GPX Master on the iPhone.
It's a very simple app that saves a GPX tracklog to Dropbox, which I can later import into Garmin BaseCamp. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of other apps, but it works, and the price is right (free). On iOS, I use an app called GeotagPhotos.

Works fairly well with very minimal battery drain on my phone - I was actually surprised how little it was using. We were on Mackinac Island (an island between the upper and lower peninsula in Michigan) for three days last month. Set a new 'trip' at the beginning of each day and at the end of the day I exported it to dropbox. When I got home the GPX file was easily loaded into lightroom and I was able to sync my photos.
I had a couple of photos that needed the location corrected, but for the most part I am very happy with the app and it works for my needs. There are so many. I tend to use GaiaGPS a lot; I feel it's the best of the nav apps for various reasons but it might be overkill for just photo geolocation. I liked Motion X, but it has lagged Gaia in customization. I also use Olympus's photo app for GPS, even though it is designed for use with their wifi cameras. But it has a relatively low battery use GPS logger, and you can export from it and use the logs in your fav software (even though I could do it in LR, I still use Houdah Geo a lot for this).
Heck, it's free; you could probably do the same with some other apps. I have a dedicated GPS with logging that's more accurate, but I generally don't need the accuracy and the phone suffices.
With my wifi E-M10 GPS is super easy; I actually prefer it over a GPS enabled P&S I have since there is no GPS to strain the camera battery.
