GPS Camera

GPS Camera is a browser-based application that lets users take photos with their phone camera and stamp them with GPS coordinates, date and time, a location pin, and a short note. After capturing a photo, users can save it and generate a shareable link, which by default is public and persistent. Users can optionally set the link to expire on a timer or to work only once, after which the photo is removed.

The service is offered for free and works offline, running entirely in the mobile browser without requiring installation. Users can add the app to their home screen to launch and shoot with no connection needed, though a link requires network access to function.

The shareable link can be set to expire on a timer, such as an hour or a day, or it can work only once after being viewed. When a one-time link is used, the photo is removed from the host after the single view.

A one-time link opens a plain page with a 'View photo' button to prevent link previews in chat apps from accidentally burning the photo. The link itself acts as the secret, so users should treat it carefully and send it only to the right person.

The service is designed for work on site, delivery proof, damage and claims, property and rentals, sending one person a spot, and trips and outdoors. It helps document a place with its exact spot for a listing or a check-in.

The website says the watermark is burned into the shot in the coordinates of the original, and users can choose where the watermark sits and its size. This allows for precise control over how the location data appears on the final image.

Some users on Reddit say the app feels less complicated than other timestamp and GPS camera apps they have tried over the years. They appreciate that it avoids asking users to pick a profession or configure complicated templates.

The process involves three taps to a link: tap 'Take photo' to open the camera, choose what to stamp, and then tap 'Save' to keep it public or set limits. The 'Link' option copies the URL while 'Share' sends the shot itself.

The service supports multiple languages including English, French, Russian, German, Polish, and Ukrainian. Users can switch between these languages on the website interface.

The business operates entirely in the mobile browser and does not require installation on the device. It functions as a browser-based application that runs natively within the phone's web environment.

The app reads latitude and longitude directly from the phone's GPS hardware. It also captures the exact date and time when the shot was taken to ensure accurate geotagging.
