It looks like you're out of luck in getting both features on the bridge cameras - it's one or the other.
Which is really the more important one - geotagging or post processing capability?
I'm slightly biased with being a Fuji user, but did use to recommend the Panasonics (based on my FZ10 & FZ50 ownership), but the FZ200 really does nothing for me aesthetically.
Toy-like and plasticky, cheap feeling switch for zooming the lens.
Anyway, Fuji has announced its flagship HS model - the new HS50, and from the specs and feature list, it looks an absolute belter of a bridge.
So, if you can sit tight, I'd give it a month or two after it's in the retail channels, and go for it.
Here's a video taster and link to have a wee read.

Good link, but reinforces my earlier summation - no camera has both features, only 3 have GPS (Nikon P510 and Sony HX10 & 20).
So a compromise is going to have to be accepted, until such time as one brand or model decides to implement both.
Personally, I can't see any real value behind geotagging an image, esp if you categorise the photos after pulling them off the card, into respective folders of where/when they were taken, which can be added into EXIF data if you so desired.
Obviously PP software which retains all the EXIF data is important in that respect.
