Description

Alpha GPS geotags your photos by transmitting your phone's GPS location to Sony Alpha cameras over Bluetooth LE — a lightweight alternative to the official apps. It also offers a Bluetooth remote shutter.

Features



• Continuous location transmission to the camera while shooting, including automatic time synchronization

• Automatic reconnection when the camera is turned on, even with the app in the background and the screen off (via Android's companion device manager)

• Remote shutter with a focus → shutter sequence

• Optional "Always On" foreground service for devices with aggressive battery management

• Multiple cameras can be paired

• No account, no ads, no tracking

Works with Sony cameras that support location linking via Bluetooth (as used by Imaging Edge Mobile or Creators' App).
