GPS Photo: GeoTag Camera: Capture and Organize Geotagged Media

GPS Photo: GeoTag Camera is a mobile application designed to embed location data directly into your photos and videos. This app solves the common problem of forgetting where a picture was taken, transforming your device into a powerful documentation tool. Users who need to catalog field work, log travel experiences, or simply keep their media organized by location will find GPS Photo: GeoTag Camera invaluable. It seamlessly integrates GPS coordinates, timestamps, and map-based organization into a straightforward photography workflow.

Automatic Geotagging During Capture

The core function of GPS Photo: GeoTag Camera activates the moment you open the camera within the app. Users simply frame their shot and press the shutter button. Concurrently, the application accesses the device’s GPS to record the precise latitude, longitude, altitude, and current time. This data is automatically written into the image file's EXIF metadata as it is saved to your gallery. The result is a photograph that is permanently linked to its geographic origin, ready for mapping or sorting.

Interactive Map-Based Media Browser

After capturing images, users can switch to the map view within GPS Photo: GeoTag Camera. This screen displays an interactive map populated with pins; each pin represents a geotagged photo or video. Tapping a pin reveals a thumbnail, and selecting it opens the full media file. This visual browsing method allows users to quickly retrace their steps and review their collection based on location clusters rather than just dates or filenames, making it ideal for trip planning and site documentation.

Batch Geotagging for Existing Photos

For media lacking location data, GPS Photo: GeoTag Camera offers a batch import and tagging feature. Users start by selecting the "Import" option and choosing photos from their device's gallery. The app then presents a map interface where the user can either manually drag a pin to the correct location or search for an address. Once confirmed, the app writes the new coordinates into the EXIF data of all selected images. This workflow is essential for retroactively organizing old vacation photos or correcting misplaced geotags.

Customizable Data Overlay on Images

The app allows users to superimpose location information directly onto their photos. Before taking a picture, users can enter the settings in GPS Photo: GeoTag Camera to choose which data points they want displayed, such as coordinates, altitude, address, or time. Once enabled, this text appears as a white watermark along the bottom edge of the image when it is captured. This creates an immediate visual reference without needing to inspect the file’s metadata, which is useful for quick reports or real-time sharing.

Creation of Location-Based Photo Collages

Beyond individual photos, GPS Photo: GeoTag Camera includes tools for assembling collages. Users select this function and choose multiple geotagged photos, often from a specific area on the map. The app provides layout templates to arrange the selected images into a single composite picture. The final collage can include a small map snippet showing where the photos were taken, serving as a concise visual summary of an event or location visit. This output is then saved to the device for easy sharing.

Management and Export of Geotagged Media

All media captured or processed within the app is centralized in its built-in gallery. Here, users can filter, view, and delete their geotagged files. GPS Photo: GeoTag Camera also supports exporting this organized collection. Users can select photos and choose to share them via email or social media; the exported files retain their embedded EXIF data. For backup, the app can generate KML or KMZ files, which can be opened in GIS and mapping software like Google Earth for advanced visualization.
