Not true.
The Contour GPS and
Contour+ 2 have a built in GPS and they provide software that does exactly what you're referring to.
That said, I've got a Contour GPS and the GPS sucks. It takes ages to acquire a lock and is quite insensitive compared to other GPSs I have -- if it's in my car, it will never get a lock unless it's actually on the dash, for example. Also the GPS drains the battery quite a bit even if it's not recording.
I don't know about the Contour+ 2.
There are other models of cameras that include GPSs, but I'm not sure they're aimed at this market as firmly as the Contours and GoPros are.
