Site managers, construction supervisors, field technicians: document your site visits with geo-referenced photos and export them straight to Google Earth (KMZ) for your reports. No more juggling desktop tools to match photos with coordinates β€” everything is generated on-site, in one tap.
- Geotagged photos with notes

- CSV export with WGS84 AND UTM (X/Y) coordinates for your GIS tools
- Works offline, with downloadable maps

πŸ“ DOCUMENT YOUR TRIPS
Easily find again:
- a viewpoint, a spring, a parking spot, a fishing spot
- a trail, a work site, a buried manhole
Each point can hold:
πŸ“· a photo Β· πŸ“ a comment Β· 🎨 a color

🧲 MAGNETIC DETECTION (bonus)
Need to quickly find keys dropped in the grass or a small lost metal object? Your phone's built-in magnetometer detects nearby metal objects β€” no need to buy a real detector just to get out of a jam.
- Sonar mode: audio signal whose frequency rises as you get closer
- Visual and vibration feedback on detection
Note: range and precision remain those of a smartphone sensor, not a professional detector.
