GRPS makes it easy to automatically start and stop location sync from your iPhone to your Ricoh GR III and GR IV cameras. Once the initial connection is made, the app will automatically wake up and start syncing whenever your camera is powered on with Bluetooth enabled within range of the iPhone – even in the background! This allows you to reliably get up to date location information in your images without having to interact with an app, set an explicit duration for location updates or excessively drain your iPhone battery. Basically, set it up once, then forget about it. GRPS also allows you to easily sync your photos to your phone library.

Your photos capture not only the moment, but also where it happened. GPS coordinates are automatically embedded in every photo, making it easy to revisit both the images and the journey behind them years later. Turn on the camera and you're connected. No need to take your phone out or relaunch the app. Location data updates as you move, or when you press the shutter. Exporting is just as simple: swipe to select multiple photos and save them to your photo library with a tap. JPG and RAW files are grouped together automatically, keeping your library organized. The 'Add Only' permission ensures the app only writes to your library without reading your existing photos.
