Brief summary
GPS Exif Trak is a free iPhone application created by Dietmar Hertzsch, listed in the Lifestyle category. It helps you record and revisit places you care about while giving you tools to protect the location metadata embedded in your photos.
Core capabilities
- Edit the GPS coordinates stored in an image’s EXIF metadata to obscure or replace the original location.
- Find any place on the globe and save it for later reference.
- Group saved places into labeled collections for better organization.
- Tweak the app’s map appearance by choosing different map themes.
- Monitor and maintain a list of places you visit frequently or want to track over time.
Photo location privacy
One of the standout functions is the ability to modify or overwrite the GPS data inside a photo’s EXIF. You can substitute the real coordinates with randomized or alternate ones before sharing images online, so your precise whereabouts aren’t disclosed.
Organizing and customizing places
The app lets you store locations and assign them to categories or folders, making it easier to find clusters like “favorite cafes,” “worksites,” or “vacation spots.” You can also personalize how maps look, which helps when you want a different visual style for navigation or presentation.
Who benefits most
- Frequent travelers who want a simple way to log destinations.
- People who want to remember specific locations without keeping raw GPS data in shared images.
- Anyone who prefers a lightweight, privacy-minded location manager on iPhone.
Bottom line
GPS Exif Trak combines location tracking and EXIF editing in a compact, user-friendly app. It’s useful both for keeping a personal place log and for removing or altering photo location data before sharing, giving you greater control over your privacy.
