It sounds like you want to geotag your photos - well almost camera give you that option either built-in, through a connection to a smart phone or by adding a gps accessory. I shoot nikon pro bodies so I have used the Nikon gp1 for a number of years. I recently bought a GMAX, which provides more capabilities.

You can use the phone with different apps to create gpx files, the battery will last less but you have to charge your phone everyday anyway these days. The advantage is virtually unlimited storage and the convenience to email the files for backup.
Recently I got a Suunto watch, it can act as gps logger, the battery lasts for 200hrs in tracking mode (1 point/min) but is pretty expensive to use it just for that.

Well, almost any. This was discussed a few years ago when companies started to remove GPS from some of their models. In fact, I had two versions of one of the Sony cameras - one with GPS and one without (for use in one of several countries that didn't allow GPS-equipped devices). The second one had to be specially ordered and the companies were not happy about having to market two versions of the same camera. Sony wasn't the only company that had to produce GPS and non-GPS models. Now that phones have GPS, I don't really hear about countries complaining about it so the constraints that existed at that time may no longer exist, or only exist in special situations, as far as I know.
I think that the last time I ran into this kind of restriction was in 2012, when I had to buy the second Sony camera just for a couple of trips. You can imagine I wasn't too excited about that extra expense, especially when one place after another started dropping the restrictions about the time my first credit card payment on the (now) unnecessary extra camera body was due. Numerous reasons that made sense at the time were given, such as lack of use (being the major one), phone GPS, the ongoing argument over whether it added cost to the camera (due to the software upgrading and development), the territorial prohibitions mentioned above, etc.
I never thought that that the software cost was important, but others disagreed. Of course, many reporters, journalists, etc., had to have two versions as well, depending on their assignments. I don't remember the other reasons but it all made sense, and I don't remember any whining when the feature started to disappear. And, if I remember correctly, phone software started to appear that could add the location to the exif later; I don't know if it ever worked and I don't remember anyone I know having tried it. I don't think anyone would complain now if it were added back in, but it just doesn't seem to come up anymore (in these threads - I haven't asked any camera stores or pros about it).
It's very easy. If you have a Suunto watch then you have a Movescount account where all your tracks/activities get synchronised to. Over there you select your walk/hike when you took photos, go Tools and download as GPX file and put it together with your photos.
In Lightroom go to Maps Module, load track, select the gpx file and will show up on the screen. Select the photos and go synchronise and that's it. There is an option in Lightroom to offset the time to a different time zone but if the camera and the computer are set on the same time zone then you don't need to do anything else. I routinely geotag all my photos that come out of my dSLRs (iPhone photos are blessed). There are 3 options for me, 1) Geotag batches/individual photos using a geotag app (HoudahGeo on Mac) where I can move to a specific location (over Google Maps) and drop pin and tag. Of course, this technique requires me to remember where the photos were taken. Mostly no big deal in the city but for bushwalks/hikes.
2) Trusty handheld outdoors Garmin GPS unit (Oregon 650) for my outdoor hikes. Given the unit always come along and my track logged, then it's easy to pull the GPX file from it and have all the photos tagged by time in HoudahGeo. Batch process and super easy. 3) Good'ol iPhone.
Using a mapping app that has GPS track logging function (Pocket Earth, MotionX-GPS etc), I can do similar to what my Garmin can do. Once the track is recorded, I then easily export the generated GPX file by email or iMessage.
Again, pipe it through HoudahGeo and it's all done. The latest iPhone (eg.
IPhone X) come with barometric altimeter function, so it just about matches the Garmin for log data detail. No, I didn't bother with one of those dedicated GPS adaptor for my dSLR. I find it cumbersome with the wire and unnecessary given the 3 options above. Of course, I won't say no when one day GPSr is fully incorporated in the camera. Hope this helps.

If yes, which one? I've been using an i-gotU for years but it started behaving funnily recently and think I'll need to get a new one. Ideally I'd like something with enough memory to store data points for a 1-month trip and with good battery life. Any suggestion appreciated, thanks in advance! Sometimes I do. I use the one that is built into my Pentax K1 as standard equipment. It tags the images, so it doesn’t have to store a bunch of information itself.
