Many thanks to all that helped me with possible solutions, especially  
Casey Connor.
Many thanks, Casey.

I have elobrated his method a bit coming up with (calling it  
ShowImageLocation)

#!/bin/bash
qutebrowser `exiftool -c "%.6f" $1 | grep "GPS Position" | \
sed -r -e 's|^.*: ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+) ([NS]), ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)  
([EW])$|http://www.openstreetmap.org/\\?mlat=\1\2\\&mlon=\3\4\\&zoom=17|g'`

qutebrowser is a lightweight browser on Linux (e.g. Gentoo). One can  
use any other browser, as well.

I love the 'geeqie' image viewer. Luckily is has a very simple plugin  
mechanism (Edit-Configure Plugins).
You can just add a new plugin by entering the full patch of the bash  
script above (ShowImageLocation)

Now, when viewing my photographs I just press the right mouse button  
and select Plugins->ShowImageLocation
This pops up the browser (here qutebrowser) - or reuses it when it is  
open -  with the exact location on Openstreetmap
where hits photograph was taken.

I do love open source since it shows more than one solution in most  
cases.

Many thanks to all, again
Helmut
