MapTag GPS Camera turns your phone into a GPS-stamping field camera. Every photo is automatically tagged with where it was taken: place name, address, map, GPS coordinates, compass heading, elevation and timestamp, all burned directly onto the image. No more guessing where a photo was taken or losing the location when you share it. The geotag becomes part of the picture, and standard GPS EXIF is written too, so the location travels with the file. WHY MAPTAG GPS CAMERA • Real location, not guesswork: reads your true GPS fix and nearest place • Live map badge: roadmap or satellite mini-map baked into every shot • Full field record: compass heading, altitude and timestamp on each photo • Offline fallback: keeps GPS and cached address/map when available if refresh fails • Camera tools: flash, zoom, tap-to-focus, grid and level guides • Free templates: choose from built-in stamp layouts • Portrait & landscape: captured at full native resolution with EXIF intact • Save & share: saves to your gallery, then share to WhatsApp, email, Files and more • Add a note: label shots with a job number, site name or description BUILT FOR WORK Perfect for construction and site documentation, inspections, surveys, insurance claims, real estate, field service and any job where you need proof of location and time. GO PRO Keep core GPS stamping features, free templates, camera guides and save/share for free. Upgrade to Pro for: • An ad-free experience • Professional Pro templates • Removing the MapTag tag • Adding your own logo, text and colours YOUR PRIVACY Your photos stay on your device. We never upload or store them. Only approximate coordinates are sent to look up the place name and map. Camera guide settings, templates and local app settings stay on your device.

About

EMST Camera

Read full description

EMST Camera is a film-inspired camera app you operate like a camera. Not a filter you drop on afterwards. Pick a look, set your exposure, aperture and focal length, and shoot. Live preview of the settings directly in viewfinder. YOUR CONTROL • A dial-based shooting interface: one scroll wheel drives exposure, aperture, focal length and aspect ratio. • Aperture dial with depth-of-field rendering. • Focal length presets pinned to your iPhone's real lenses. • Mirrorless-style autofocus: a persistent AF box, tap to move it, AF lock to recompose. • Grid and level overlays when you want them, nothing when you don't. YOUR LOOK • Built-in film-inspired looks, from warm evening color to cool dusk tones and true monochrome + Natural for a clean, untouched capture. • Every look is tunable: grain, halation, vignette, clarity and color temperature. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no ads, everything happens on your device. Open the camera straight from control center or lock screen with shortcut extension. EMST Camera iOS app from Emaki Studio, a small independent photo toolkit.
