I have used the Pro version of this app for several years (Original review Feb 2017 today is 9/24/20) and should have changed 4 stars to 5 stars years ago. An excellent app but, I had trouble with the geologging feature. As expected, it shows geo tacks on a map. There is also a feature to export as GPX file. However, the export feature seems to only be accessible from a particular date. I have a 20 day trip, I see track, but exported GPX file is only for the last day. It would be very useful to be able to export the entire trip GPX as one file. Or at least to export the track for other than the last day. PhotoMap created the track (geolog) from my android phone and placed the phone photos on it. I intended to export the entire trip GPX so I could use it to Geotag my external camera photos

PhotoMap exports the track that is shown on the map. The current date is used as filename. That doesn't mean that only positions of that date are stored. You can export the entire geo positions by tapping on the geologger item in the left navigation drawer, expanding the settings via icon in the top right corner, and then selecting 'Export...'.

This app has cloud integrations with three services. Apparently, I can't mention them by name or I'm flagged as spam for "advertising", but I'll abbreviate them as GDrive, ODrive, and DBox. There are two MAJOR cloud services out there that would be far more useful to integrate with (GPhotos, APhotos) ever since GD eliminated their photo syncing services recently. Without integrations with one of these two cloud services, this app has become all but useless to me. I hope the developer can add one of these services this this app, and I'll be back for a 5 star review.

The Google Photos API doesn't offer the functionality to read GPS positions. PhotoMap could download all files and read the GPS positions on its own, but that would make the process extremely slow and would cause a lot of traffic. That's why I can't recommend using Google Photos. Cloud storages like OneDrive or Drive support reading GPS positions.

the app is good, the concept is cool. I realized halfway through my vacation that I forgot to turn on GPS location, so half my pictures are tagged, but I know you can manually tag pictures, but for some reason it won't save my info. write to the creator, but have not gotten a reply yet. also, depending the storage source you use, it crashes the app. I also mapped a source location to my OneDrive, but it doesn't seem to scan it to find my pictures. I wish there was a user manual or FAQ.
