DRDUL I just discovered a great use for HoudahGeo that has nothing to do with GPS. I shot a bunch of photos with the camera set to the wrong date (2008 instead of 2009). The photos are in DNG format, and I couldn't find any way to edit the dates in the embedded EXIF data, other than the command line utility ExifTools. Then I remembered that HoudahGeo uses ExifTools to write EXIF data.
Sure enough, I was able to shift the dates in all my DNG files by one year, without adding GPS coordinates. To do this, I simply imported the images and in the "Camera Setup" dialog, indicated that the camera was running 31536000 seconds slow (the number of seconds in one year). The timestamps for all the photos were rest to the correct dates. I then wrote EXIF data to the original files.
