Directional Camera

About this app

Your iPhone saves the GPS location with every photo—telling you where you stood. But it doesn't tell you which direction the camera was facing, or the angular size of what you saw. Directional Camera fills that gap. It transforms your device into a survey-grade instrument, burning critical orientation data directly into the image for permanent documentation. BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS Whether you are a scientist documenting field phenomena, an engineer on a construction site, or an investigator gathering evidence, precise data matters. Directional Camera provides the context that standard metadata leaves out. KEY CAPABILITIES Precise Orientation: Instantly visualize the camera's Azimuth (Compass Direction) and Pitch (Elevation Angle) relative to the horizon. Angular Measurement Grid: Use the overlay grid to estimate the real-world angular size and scale of distant objects. Data-Rich Overlay: Every photo includes a stamped footer with timestamp, GPS coordinates, altitude (MSL), and orientation data, ready for reports and archives. IDEAL FOR: Field Research: Document weather patterns, geological formations, and biological surveys. Construction & Engineering: Verify site alignment and document progress with directional context. Forensics & Investigation: Capture evidence with irrefutable orientation data. Site Scouting: Plan solar installations or architectural framing by tracking sun position and viewing angles. Stop guessing what you were looking at. Capture the full picture with Directional Camera.

Added support for launching the app from the Camera Control hardware button. Cosmetic improvements and bug fixes.
