In the Contact Sheet page of the Preferences dialog you can customize the thumbnail labels.  You can have up to three labels.  The labels can have {variables} entered in them.  So if you were to choose "Filename + one label" and enter the following as your first label:

GPS Lat: {latitude}, Lon: {longitude}

Then your thumbnails will show the GPS data for the position, if any.

Thanks very much, that worked.  I was actually hoping just for an icon to identify the files where there was gps and where there was not (and so I needed to put it in) but giving the actual numbers is OK.

You can use the "Select photos with GPS" command on the Edit menu.  The selected images have GPS coordinates.  The rest of the images do not have GPS coordinates.  If you now want to work with the images that do not have GPS coordinates, then use the "Select Others (invert)" command on the Edit menu after you use the "Select photos with GPS" command.

Yes I had already found:

"You can use the "Select photos with GPS" command on the Edit menu.  The selected images have GPS coordinates.  The rest of the images do not have GPS coordinates.  If you now want to work with the images that do not have GPS coordinates, then use the "Select Others (invert)" command on the Edit menu after you use the "Select photos with GPS" command."

But having the images in context of each other helps because it is often just the first few or odd ones during a sequence where the camera gps fails to pick up the satellites and the adjacent images have the correct location rather than having to remember yourself.

Then doesn't the label solution let you visually scan for images in context that don't have GPS info?
