Maperture brings geotagging to Aperture

Maperture is a nifty little plugin for Aperture that lets you geotag photos in your library. We've covered quite a few different geotagging apps for the Mac, but this is the first one that works so well with Aperture as a plugin.
Basically, Maperture integrates an interface to Google Maps which allows you to easily place your pictures on a map, saving the location information as metadata in the photos. Since it's a front end for Google Maps, you get its built-in features like the satellite and hybrid views, etc. In addition, Maperture will automatically place images already containing location information on the map for you. Now the only problem is remembering exactly where you were when you took the picture!
Maperture is a free download from Übermind and requires Aperture 2.

When making my own handmade cards I tend to use decoupage because I can sit and watch TV one night and do all the cutting out and piecing the decoupage together then the next night I can make the cards up.

You can highlight several and find the place on the map, but if you want to mark 20 pictures that were all taken in the exact same spot, it gets frustrating. (That being said, I love the plugin! It's so easy to use!)

I think an addition from either Apple or a third party (preferably from Apple) for iPhoto would be great. I still don't see where the geotagging on the iPhone comes into play. Although, truthfully after placing keywords, comments , and editing and posting my pics on the gallery, I'm finished messing with my pictures. That's already a lot of work for me to do.

Any proof-reading vacancies going?
