GPS4CAM ALTERNATIVE UPDATE

At the end of my trip I exported and snapped a photo of the QR code. The app seemed to use almost no battery life in this mode, which I thought was great. At each location as soon as I got there I gave my phone a shake before shooting, going to four different spots throughout the day. I took a few photos and decided to go around the Newport, RI area and take some more shots. I gave my phone a shake and it buzzed, verifying that it's taken a GPS reading.

At home I opened the app and decided to use the shake mode as the battery life on my phone is shit. So, Here's my review and wrap up of my first day.

GPS4CAM ALTERNATIVE UPDATE

On your computer, run the companion program which will scan your photos for the QR code and update the EXIF for your photos with GPS info. On the phone app hit 'start a new trip' as well as selecting a mode for the app to take GPS readings.Īt the end of the trip click 'Export trip', it will generate a QR code that you take a picture of on your DSLR. The way this is described to work is as follows:

I decided to give it a shot, and after a day of shooting I can say I'm very pleased with the results. I read it's possible to use My Tracks and import the GPS file to Lightroom, but since I don't have Lightroom that wasn't a possibility, and after a bit more digging i found gps4cam. I've been searching for ways to add GPS coordinates to EXIF, and after seeing that it'd cost me >$200 and my hot shoe I decided to look for alternate options.
