How does it feel to get your usual BS turned around to look back at you??? It would make a normal person re-think things, I would think...But no, again, it's all about you!!
I wonder what it's like to live in your head!! Not that I would like to take the tour!

I do a good deal of traveling and take a good deal of photos for my artwork.

I use my Olympus camera that's about 6-years old and I was considering a new Olympus camera since I have some very effective lenses for my purposes. But...Olympus doesn't seem to offer any camera that would permit me to use the lenses I have AND give metadata of a photo's location. Is there an easy method of addressing this issue that I'm not aware of other than taking cumbersome notes or also using my iPhone constantly to also photo a spot that WOULD log the location? Thanks for any help that might address this without my having to settle for a new camera that would be unnecessarily costly and not give me the use of my Olympus lenses.

While I usually know where I took a particular photograph, the one thing I really miss in going from Sony a55 SLT to the a7Riii is the loss of GPS co-ordinates. And I refuse to get a smartphone to tie to the a7. In your case, just take a companion shot with the accursed iPhone (with gps capture set) and you have the location. Transfer to the meta data of your photograph and you'll always know where you took it. (Notice I didn't say it was ideal or easy.)

Well, I would think the camera has to have GPS in order to record the location as metadata. I'm not suggesting that I'd use the iPhone for photography when I have the camera, but rather to have the iPhone register the location metadata.

Sometimes I take one photo with my iPhone to record the position, then take others with my camera for the photos.

Yes me too and this is a very popular method according to the numerous similar comments on the preceding pages. :)

Essential a small computer replacing pen and paper, a ubiquitous phenomenon of the times (and also The Times).

Yep (and also true).

The Canon 1 D-x has a feature where it allows a voice message to be added to the image. You do not mention the method you use to process and to store your photos. If you use Lightroom CC you can simply go to the MAP mode and be shown exactly where an image was recorded.
