What this guide covers
A GPS photo stamp puts the most useful field context directly on the image: where it was taken, when it was taken and which template was used.
Suggested workflow
- 1Open Camera and confirm the selected template.
- 2Check the Photo Location card or choose Edit location for a custom pin.
- 3Take the HD photo and return to the app.
- 4Open the saved audit record to review or share the stamped image.
Field checklist
- Coordinates are readable
- Address matches the job site
- Date and time are visible
- Stamp does not cover the important subject
Use this workflow in GPS - Geo Tagging Map Camera
Select a stamp template, confirm Current GPS or a custom location pin, capture a photo or choose one from your gallery, then review the saved audit record. For a selected set of photos, create a PDF report from Geotag Library.
GPS-stamped photos can add useful context to a field record. Follow your organisation's policies, privacy requirements and any project-specific documentation standards.
