Every photo, proof of place. myGPS Map Camera stamps the location details that matter straight onto your photos — ready for site visits, inspections, deliveries, field reports and travel. Pick exactly what each job needs: coordinates, street address, Plus Code, map thumbnail, altitude, compass heading, GPS accuracy, date and time, and optional weather. Six stamp layouts take you from a detailed report panel to a compact ribbon that stays out of the way. The same GPS details are written into each photo's EXIF metadata, so the location travels with the file — not just in the picture. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU SAVE • Live preview of the exact stamp burned into the photo • Works in portrait and landscape • Compass heading measured along the camera lens, even when the phone is tilted MAKE IT YOURS • Decimal or degrees-minutes-seconds coordinates • Multiple date, time, time-zone and unit formats (metric or imperial) • Author name, note and hashtag fields on every stamp • Choose which fields appear and in what layout KEEP YOUR PHOTOS ORGANISED • In-app gallery grouped by day • Inspect each photo's location metadata • Share or delete one photo or many at once BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN • Runs natively on iPhone and iPad • On iPad and other large screens, the gallery shows photos side by side with the one you're viewing, and Settings opens as a sidebar • Layouts adapt to Split View and folding screens PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your photos, notes and settings stay on your device • No account, no subscription, no ads • Location is used only while the app is open • Saving to Photos is add-only — the app never reads your existing library Optional extras: weather readings using your own free OpenWeatherMap key, and occasional notifications you can switch off any time in Settings. Camera and location access are required to create a geotagged photo. Photo library access is optional and used only to save a copy to Photos. An internet connection is needed for the street address, map and weather; coordinates, Plus Code and compass work offline.
