Photolocation
Read full descriptionHide full description
Photolocation is, at its core, a concoction of the iPhone's Camera App, Compass App and Maps App with the purpose of displaying the photographers location and cardinal orientation within the photo itself for later documentation and organization. Made originally for Construction Site Monitors to document construction events and precisely where they occur, this app can integrate with any organizational system you might use so long as it allows you to import photos. Personal uses include, but are not limited to, documenting photo locations for later viewing pleasure, showing vacation pictures without having to explain where they were taken, or even just for sentimental purposes to remember places you have been. If you are looking for a professional grade, versatile and robust means of organizing and documenting your images based on location, Photolocation is the app for you.
