If you've got the Google Earth part done, then all you need is a tool to
inject the GPS data into your image files. While I don't think iPhoto will
do anything with this data, it won't hurt it either.
I'd suggest using "exiftool" - a command line application which can
read/write nearly any flavor of metadata in many common file formats.
You'll want to, at a minimum, write to the EXIF GPS fields - you might
also consider updating the IPTC/IPTC-Core location fields, and the XMP GPS
and location fields. You can update all of these fields in one pass with
exiftool.
Since exiftool is a command line app, you'd most likely use it via "do
shell script" in AppleScript.
