Does anyone know of a script or action created that can take the geotag data from the exif and write it to the image like a date script in the lower corner.??

Something like this ...

if(documents.length) app.activeDocument.suspendHistory('Add Border', 'main()'); 
function main(){
var startRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var doc = activeDocument;
var longitude = getExifString('GPS Longitude');
var latitude = getExifString('GPS Latitude');
var fivePercent = (Math.min(doc.height,doc.width)/100) * 5;
var OffsetX = fivePercent;
var OffsetY = fivePercent/4;
var Black = new SolidColor();
Black.rgb.hexValue = '000000';
var White = new SolidColor();
White.rgb.hexValue = 'ffffff';
app.backgroundColor=Black;
doc.flatten();
doc.resizeCanvas((doc.width + (fivePercent*2)), (doc.height + (fivePercent*2)), AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
var newTextLayer = activeDocument.artLayers.add(); 
newTextLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT; 
newTextLayer.textItem.kind = TextType.POINTTEXT
newTextLayer.textItem.color = White; 
newTextLayer.textItem.font = "Georgia";
newTextLayer.textItem.size = 14; 
newTextLayer.textItem.contents = "Longitude: " + longitude + " Latitude: " + latitude;
var LB = doc.activeLayer.bounds; 
var LHeight = Math.abs(LB[3].value) - Math.abs(LB[1].value);
var percentage = ((fivePercent/LHeight)*50);
doc.activeLayer.resize(percentage,percentage,AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
LB = doc.activeLayer.bounds; 
var X = (activeDocument.width - fivePercent) - LB[2].value;
var Y = (activeDocument.height - OffsetY) - LB[3];
doc.activeLayer.translate(X,Y);
doc.flatten();
preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
}
function getExifString(searchString) {
    var exifArray = activeDocument.info.exif;
    for(var a in exifArray){
        if(exifArray[0].toString() ==  searchString){
            return exifArray[1];
            }
        }
    return  searchString + 'Not known';
};

Oh one thing, I just noticed its not printing the W (long) or the N (lat) after the coordinates. I could drop them in text form in there, but if Id reather it place it there right from the exif. Could you show me how to do that? I really appreciate the help, thanks again!

I wonder if this is better...

var longitude = getExifString('GPS Longitude');
var longRef = getExifString('GPS Longitude Ref');

var latRef = getExifString('GPS Latitude Ref');
var TextInfo = longRef + longitude + " "  + latRef +  latitude;
//Amend to suit
