For instance, I have folders called London or Vegas and then they're broken down into Day One, Day Two, etc. Easy enough to do without geotagging. I can see where geotagging would be handy for posting to Google maps or some such thing, but otherwise I'm not too clear on what other advantages there are in using it.

Sorry to take so long to respond, DSL problems mean its sometimes difficult to upload images.

I originally got a GPS (Trekking type) when I started going bush, didn't want to get lost, very embarrassing to have to wait somebody to find you. I deliberately went for a GPS with a micro SD slot so that I could install maps and keep lots of tracks.

When you are using programs like GeoSetter, you have tracks showing exactly where, the path you took and exactly where the shot was taken. It could be in middle of nowhere or at the beach, it provides the image and the trip with a lot more context than you had before.

With a lot of the places I visit, I want to make return trips and the GPS gives you what you need to get back to a place where you shot a bird of paradise.

PS: I have no idea what type of information the 6D provides so I don't know if its possible to use it the way I do.
