Indirect geotagging is possible with any camera, even analogue ones, as long as you have a timestamp for each photo.

What you need is your camera and a GPS logger, which you leave on all the time while you’re taking pictures. The GPS logger will save a position every few seconds, or meters, depending on your settings, along with the date and time of when that position was saved. Whenever you take a picture, your camera also saves the date and time when you took that picture. After your photo session, when you download your photos to a computer, you also download the GPS track from your logger, and use special software for synching the photos with your track. The software looks at the timestamp of each of your photos, checks the GPS track where you were at exactly that point in time and then saves that position in the photo’s metadata, thereby “geotagging” your photos.

Usually, when people talk about geotagging, they think that is the only way of doing it. There is however one more, even better way: Direct geotagging
