There are diagrams, pie charts, venn diagrams and more at Jessica Hagy's site, Indexed. They cover many topics: car accidents, television, Thanksgiving, and GPS, just for a start. Some of them are available on tee-shirts. And there's a widget too.

Ian Wood continues to work on the problem of interchanging GPS data with Aperture. From a posting on DPReview:

GPS2Aperture is a floating system window which can grab GPS data from either Aperture or Google Earth, let the user edit it and then send the data to either Aperture or Google Earth.

For instance if an image Version has incorrect GPS info, you can view the location in Google Earth, move around the the right location and send the edited location data back to the image Version in Aperture. Alternatively, use Google Earth to visually pick a location and add it to Versions that had no GPS data in the first place.

Note - GPS2Aperture makes changes directly to Aperture's SQLite database as the interface gives no way to alter GPS or other EXIF data. It's been tested on multiple computers and multiple Libraries without problems, but make sure you backup first, just in case!

Jason Kerner has some examples of photos with GPS buttons that take you to Google.

By gluing together exiftool, Applescript, Perl, and Aperture Allan Hise and Brett Gross have created a solution to the problem of missing EXIF data in Aperture by adding it automatically as part of the import.

I have this problem myself: the Canon S3 does not put useful ISO data in a standard place and so I have no ISO data for my images. Other people want to import GPS data, lens data, and other information that sits uselessly in their images, unavailable to Aperture.

To add data to images already in Aperture he has this tool.
