One of my favorite things about the interface on the watch is that I can change the accuracy of the GPS. Otherwise will show the default unnamed trip titled. If you name the trip (on your phone) then the name of the trip will also show on the watch. While the GPS is going, the watch shows the time which is convenient since the Pebble in the end is still a watch. So that makes sense – although I still wish it was an option. If an app uses constantly the Bluetooth connection between the iPhone and Pebble, other potential apps won’t be able to interact with the Pebble” “It’s a requirement from Pebble in order to have a fair sharing between apps using Bluetooth to connect to the Pebble smartwatch. Turns out that it’s against policies for developers to do that. So my first thought was that I wish the app on the watch could start the tracking. When you first launch the app on the watch it tells you to start the app on the phone. Turns out that it’s quite useful in helping to stop looking at the phone to set markers and also to share coordinates with others if needed. I wanted to get a feel for what the watch interface could do which would benefit me while out shooting.

This latter will geotag all your photos with the appropriate GPS locations.Īs you can see here, the photos have been geotagged. When you get to your computer, simply run your photos plus the QR code through the gps4cam desktop software. The advantage of the QR code is that you don’t have to manually sync your phone’s time with your camera’s time ![]() When you are done, simply end the trip and generate a QR code that you need to take a picture of with your camera in either RAW or JPG.
