Help please - Automatic numbering of objects in photoshop

[EL_LL]

Hello Photoshop community, 

I am hoping someone might know how to achieve some 'automatic numbering' in photoshop (not to do with titles).

The problem: I took dozens of images of a place and I want to mark where they were taken and from what direction on a map with an arrow and number (see the image below for a rough idea of what I want to achieve).

Now, I can do this the difficult way by creating a new layer, inserting an arrow and then typing the number. However, this takes a long time to do for 50+ images and it really doesn't allow for me to make mistakes or change the order of my photos. For instance, if I decide I don't want Image 5 and I remove its indicating arrow and number, the entire labelling system is messed up. It just becomes 1,2,3,4,6,7... and so on.

I would like to know if there is a way to automate my numbers. That way, I could remove a number and arrow and the labelling system would rectify itself.

I hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you have any ideas! Also happy to consider other programs.

There is the Photoshop Count tool, butr it's not as fancy as you'd like:
