Hi

Can anyone recommend an App that when I take a photo, it will give me the co-ordinates of the item? Date and time stamp it too

Thanks

It's a bit unclear what you want!!! Many smartphones already write geolocation (and timestamp) information into the image "exif" data using their default camera app.

Do you want an "Exif viewer" to see this data - or something else?

ok, if I take a photo on my Galazy S6 it does save the location and date etc when you select more then details. HOwever I cannot email those details to the customer?

So ideally I would like say a watermark that puts the date, time and latitude/longitude in the actual photo, I can then send by email using Outlook to the customer therefore confirming at that time, that date I was in that location and delivered the "widget" (in the photo)

Why can't the customer just view the exif data in the file?

Either way though, whether they look at that data in the file or you have the details watermarked on the image, it doesn't really prove anything as the data can be edited/faked.

I am aware of that but its a start, all I am asking is recommendations for an App.

They cant ready the exif data in Outlook?

Which is why I want it stamped on the photo to send to the customer

If you email them the photo, they will have the data. It's embedded in the photo.

Believe this app will do what you want: Camera Timestamp - £2.89.

There is a free version which timestamps images but it does not have the geostamp feature, although you can try it out for 5 photos in that version.

An app on which platform? How are you going to get them to install an app? It would make more sense you for to include the information in the text of an email.

There are Apps - on both IOS and Android which will "print" the Exif data on top of the visible image (before emailing the image) - and this seems to be what the OP wants.
