ProCamera 2.95 for iOS Saves Both Position and Direction Info with Photo

daemgen.net today is pleased to announce ProCamera 2.95 for iOS, a major update to its best-selling photography app that now stores both location finding and directional metatags with each photo. A boon for architects, civil engineers, film location scouts, realtors, Feng-Shui and Vastu Shastra consultants, insurance adjusters, and law enforcement, the user may now save the exact GPS location from which the photo was taken, plus the precise compass direction in which the camera was pointed. Photos taken with compatible iOS devices may now be used for detailed documentation and presentations.
Apple iOS devices employ the standard EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) that incorporates TIFF, JPEG, and RIFF WAV formats, and also includes provisions for metadata tags. Geotagging, the inclusion of latitude and longitude data in the metadata of a digital photo, has grown increasingly popular, particularly as recent smartphones are including GPS or WiFi location finding as a standard feature. Online photo sharing sites such as Panoramio, locr, and Flickr all allow the inclusion and display of geolocation data. In addition, iPhoto, Google Maps, Flickr and MobileMe make it possible to view photos on a map, and sort them by location. However, none yet includes the camera’s compass heading/direction. ProCamera 2.95 will most likely have a positive influence on the addition of this useful geospatial data.
