So far, the GP-E2 seems to be the only option for tagging in the camera.

GPS4CAM is a phone app that works well. After a shooting session it displays a QR code that you photograph.

Then the GPS coordinates can be inserted into jpeg or raw files on your computer. You just point the software to the image of the QR code, and the photos that you want to tag.

Not as nice as the GP-E2, but it works quite well.

I now have 2 iPhone apps to test for their ability to add gps to the photos. Gps4Cam and GeoTag Photos Pro. But both have the same drawback - if there is no cell service there is no gps information since the iPhone does not have "real" gps but rather only the gps it can get from a data signal. So, if I am out making photos in the middle of a US National Park, I probably cannot expect to get any gps data to add to the photos.

I was really hoping for something less expensive than the GP-E2 to use to insert real gps data into the images but perhaps there is nothing else. The iPhone app is probably a good short-term solution but, since I frequently camp and hike in National Parks, it leaves a pretty big gap in my geotagging ability.
