Dears,

The gps4cam team is very pleased to announce you the release of gps4cam pro version 1.2 for iPhone.

Your trips all around the world will be even better because our development team offers you numerous
improvements in this new version.

✔ Discover our new long trips management functions!
§ Online Connection through Dropbox to GPS4CAM. This Online Mode allows you to store
the necessary data on the cloud for later use. From now on, only one QRCode has to be photographed! Gps4cam
Desktop finds then automatically the needed data on the cloud and geotag your photos.
§ Optimization of the number of QRCodes to photograph. If the user do not want or can’t
use the online connection, he can choose the data he wants to encode into the QR Codes (Altitude, Ultra Accurate
positioning) in order to limit the number of QR Codes to photograph.

✔ Manage your trips easily!
§ New function to catch up if you forget to launch the application. The user can move the
start of the trip. Thus, the pictures taken before the launch of gps4cam are associated with the first capture made at
the launch of the trip on the iPhone.
§ Possibility to name a trip from the beginning of the trip (and not only after the ride).

✔ Use the new positioning information to geotag your pictures!
§ Export of the altitudes. Pilots, skydivers, hikers & climbers specifically have asked for this
feature.
§ Export Ultra Accurate Positioning. This mode is the default mode when the application is
run online.

✔ Make use of our new functions of data import & export!
§ Possibility of transferring the entire database of trips to gps4cam or gps4cam Pro.
§ Ability to send by mail or import on Dropbox the trips full database.
§ Ability to specify an address by default for sending GPX files or for the trips database back up in
the iPhone settings.

✔ Enjoy the numerous small ergonomic improvements making it easier to navigate within the application and
if you are an iOS6 or iPhone 5 user, take advantage of the optimization of the app who has been made for
your devices.

Moreover, we wish to seize this opportunity to announce you that the gps4cam team has also grown.
Michael who launched the app three years ago, teamed with four people. They are all very motivated and fond of
photos, web and innovation. Laurent works with Michael on new gps4cam functionalities. Alban works on gps4cam
apps strategy & adoption growth. Laure manages the relationships with journalists & bloggers and will make sure
that all users are aware of gps4cam latest evolutions. Last, Lening is introducing gps4cam in China & Taiwan!

GPS4CAM Pro 1.0 & GPS4CAM desktop Connection to Dropbox to reconnected => Please download GPS4CAM Destop 5.2

1. A new feature has been added in GPS4CAM Pro 1.0 & GPS4CAM Desktop 5.0 in September that allow to better manage long trips by avoid the user to photograph several QR Codes thanks to a GPS4CAM Pro 1.0 -> Dropbox -> GPS4CAM Desktop

2. Hoewever dropbox has modified its connection APIs in the last few days. As a consequence some of you go a error message in GPSCAM Desktop 5.0 which was unable to find the trip datas stored in your dropbox.

3. GPS4CAM Dev team has been able to modify GPS4CAM Desktop code to adapt to Dropbox APIs change and released the new GPS4CAM Desktop 5.2 release that you can download.

5. May you find any future problem with this service, please contact us and we’ll do our best to answer you within the best period.

Dear gps4cam users,

Here are the four most common mistakes submitted to the gps4cam support team. By knowing them and by reading the FAQ, you are ensured to have an optimal usage of gps4cam.

n°1 : The screenshot instead of the photo.
You have to photograph the generated QRCode(s) with the same camera you used during your trip. This is mandatory to automatically take into account the potential time shift between the camera time and the iPhone time. Please note that gps4cam cannot work with a screenshot of the QRCode.

n°2 : The trip that generates several QRCodes.
If the trip is long, several QRCodes may be generated during the export. In this case, you have to photograph every QRCodes. The number of dots under the QRCode allows to know the number of generated QRCodes. You can switch from one QRCode to another one by sliding your finger on the iPhone screen.

n°3 : Several trips in a same vacation.
Before gps4cam desktop V4.0:
It is possible to make several trips in a vacation and to use gps4cam desktop at the end of vacations. However, there is an important rule to respect in this case: always export and photograph the QRCode of a finished trip before starting a new one. If you try to export all your trips at the end of your vacations, it will be problematic since gps4cam does not look for QRCodes in photos which are in the timeframe of an already decoded trip (for performances reasons). If this rule was not followed, it is possible to make gps4cam desktop works fine, but you have to create one folder by trip and put photos of the trip and qrcodes of the trip inside.
After gps4cam desktop V4.0:
gps4cam desktop 4.0 offers three QRCodes search methods, that is why the preceding rule is not mandatory anymore. You can photograph all QRCodes of all your trips at the end and choose the corresponding method in gps4cam desktop preferences, or you can even manually select pictures where QRCodes are.

n°4: Camera time change during the trip.
A big advantage of gps4cam is that it is able to automatically manage the time shift between the iPhone time and the camera time without anything to do for the user. So please do nothing . You must not change the camera time between the beginning of the trip and the moment you photograph QRCodes after export.

Dears,

gps4cam is three years old since August 2012, it was the time to give him a little brother .
I am very pleased to announce the release 1.0 of gps4cam Pro for iPhone.
With gps4cam Pro 1.0, you will enjoy:
✔ a magic feature that allows to generate only one QRCode whatever the duration of the trip you are exporting.
✔ more precision in your capture modes, you will indeed be able to precisely adjust the frequency of your captures.

Versions 2.0 and 3.0 of gps4cam pro will reserve many surprises, among others:
✔ a synchronisation of your trips “on the cloud”.
✔ some capture modes based on distance criteria rather than frequency criteria.
✔ the altitude data export (for pilots and paragliders that asked for it).
✔ the ability to better filter unprecise captures.
✔ the ability to print somes QRCodes and to tape some of them in your usual places of photoshot.
✔ and many other things.

Here is a detailled descriptive of the two main feature of gps4cam pro 1.0:

✔ The export of a trip always generate only one QRCode, without any change neither in the way you use gps4cam nor in the geotagging result. This is possible thanks to the synchronization (totally transparent) with your Dropbox account (free). You thus need an Internet connection when you export your trip and when you geotag with the desktop app. If you are not connected to the internet, you can use the standard export.
This feature requires a little clarification about the management of your private data: As you know, gps4cam is very respectful of your personal data (http://gps4cam.com/aboutprivacy/2011/01/) and unlike most applications, it communicates absolutely no information and no statistics (even anonymous) on the Internet. With this new feature, gps4cam pro owns a private directory on your Dropbox account (/Apps/gps4cam) and send your trips in its private format. It writes in the QRCode some informations allowing to access this directory (/Apps/gps4cam) (and only this one), the QRCode must therefore be regarded as a private data (as well as for standard export, because QRCodes contains your trip). gps4cam Pro does not know your Dropbox password or any information to access your Dropbox account (except /Apps/gps4cam).

✔ Capture modes based on frequency (every 30 seconds, every 5 minutes, …) can be customized with any frequency (between 10 seconds and 30 minutes). This is done by a long click on the capture mode, it is thus accessible during the ride.

Thank you very much for your tests and for your suggestions. I thank all gps4cam users, you can be sure that your encouragements go straight to my heart and help me to improve my application again and again.

I wish you some beautiful photos with gps4cam .

Warmest Regards, Michaël.

Elvis Kennedy wrote a very complete and interesting app review on his blog:

Good things come in small packages.

The little gps4cam application for Apple iPhone and iPad is one of those small packages that are simply terrific.

Top 6 Reasons to Get it:

1. By far the least expensive way to geo-tag your photographs
2. Works with any and all digital cameras. Any model, any make (even Leica!).
3. Runs in the background. Feel free to listen to music, use maps, browse the web, make phone calls, play games, use other apps.
4. No need to “synchronize your watches”. It will figure out for you, exactly when and where each photograph was taken
5. WiFi not required. Works anywhere on planet Earth. Does not require a new device to keep charged and track of.
6. It uses the iPhone already in your pocket.

For more, please visit his blog.

Thanks again Elvis!
