Frequently asked questions

Yes. Every feature in the app today is free, with no ads, no sign-up and no app watermark on your photos. Optional tips through Google Play help pay for development; they unlock nothing.

No, and it never will. There are no banner or full-screen ads and no advertising ID. Being ad-free is a principle of the app, not a paid upgrade.

No. The stamp shows only what you choose — map, address, coordinates, time, weather, your note. No app branding is added.

Coming soon. GPS Map Camera is on Android today; leave your email at freegpsmapcamera.com/ios and we’ll tell you when the iPhone app launches.

GPS Map Camera is a free GPS camera app for Android with no ads and no watermark. It stamps the map, address, coordinates, date and time on photos and videos, in 12 languages.

Twelve: English, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Indonesian, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil) and Turkish, with fonts that render each script correctly.

Install GPS Map Camera, allow camera and precise location, wait for the green “Ready” chip and take the photo. The address, coordinates, date and time are printed on the picture.

A map or satellite tile, the place name and full address, latitude and longitude (decimal, DMS, DDM, UTM, MGRS or Plus Code), date and time, weather, GPS accuracy, altitude, compass heading, sun times and your own note.

Yes. GPS needs no internet, so coordinates, date and time are stamped offline. The street address, map and weather need a connection to look up.

It uses your phone’s GPS, usually accurate to 3–10 metres outdoors. The camera shows the live accuracy and can warn or block capture when it is worse than a limit you set.

No. The stamp records where the phone actually is when you take the photo. For an old photo without a stored location you can add your current one, and the stamp then says “location added later”.

Yes. Use “Stamp an existing photo” from the app’s gallery or the Android share menu. The app uses the location and date stored in the photo and saves a new copy; the original is untouched.

Yes. Besides the visible stamp, the GPS position and original date are written to the photo’s EXIF data.

Yes. The stamp is part of the image, so WhatsApp’s compression doesn’t remove it. With Quick Send the message also carries the address, coordinates and a Google Maps link.

Yes. Set your stamp up once and tap “Share my setup” to send a link or show a QR code. Team members apply it in one tap, even on a fresh install.

Yes. Videos get the same stamp as photos, recorded into the video itself.

No. Photos and videos stay on your phone and only leave it when you send them yourself, or attach one to a feedback message.

No. There is no sign-up. The app works as soon as you allow camera and location.

Send a request from the app (Settings → Send feedback) or by email. We delete the records linked to your install within 30 days. See the Delete my data page for details.
