Description

Been using Solocator – GPS Field Camera for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you take photos and stamp them with all sorts of location data – GPS coordinates, altitude, compass direction, tilt angles, and more. Pretty solid app if you’re into that kind of thing.

Here’s what you do: You just open the app, take a photo, and it overlays all the metadata you need. There’s also an option to add field notes like project name and photo descriptions, which is pretty cool. And you can customize what info gets shown on the photos – took me a while to figure that out but it’s useful.

Look, if you’re into geotagging and photo documentation for work or hobbies, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the free version has ads that can get annoying – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on Solocator - GPS Field Camera. I've tested a bunch of geotagging apps and this one's pretty good. And the overlay customization is super handy, and the location data it captures is really accurate. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some pro-level apps, but for most casual users it's more than enough. The ads can get old, but paying a few bucks to remove them is worth it in my opinion.

This app is just OK, inconsistent photo attachment when trying to share (email) which is very frustrating. It often fails to identify the industry pack which was an additional purchase...

Only one complaint. The response time for the camera capturing a photo with this app is often delayed. I use this app for jobsite inspection work, and too often do...
