That sounds like the hard way given what the OP wants to do.

The OP's issue is automated tagging his Oly phots.  Similar to me 
tagging my SLR phots.  (Though I usually use an independent GPS recorder 
I can also use my iPhone for that).

If you record GPS continuously then tagging any number of photos after 
the fact takes a minute to set up and a few seconds to execute using a 
tool like exiftool or any one of a variety of GUI based tools.

exiftool -geotag=GPS_20171103_162238.log -overwrite_original_in_place 
-geosync=-4:00:00 *.dng

(Just need to navigate to the folder containing the dng's before 
executing the command.  I keep a "template" of the command in a text 
file so I just need to paste that into terminal, modify the gps file 
name and let 'er rip).

Recording the position in a single shot is a fine backup, but pretty 
tedious if you have 50 - 100 photos to tag afterwards.
