Ideally cameras should pick up location from the shooter's smartphone through a Bluetooth link.

Photo management tools like digiKam can pick up locations from GPX tracks (e.g. recorded with OsmAnd on your phone) and sync with the photos by time.

The Sony a6400 does this if the Sony app is running on the smartphone, but it drains the camera's battery fairly quickly.

For what its worth the Sony hot-shoe actually has dedicated GPS pins but there is no GPS mouse available (and Sony won't react if you ask for specs). The only thing that is available are external GPS recorders which you have to read out and semi-automatically merge with your photo library. What an absolute clusterfuck.
