Share and export photos, points, and collections
You can export one saved photo, selected points, one collection, or several collections. From version 5.4, the sharing menu shows the number of points and photos before you continue. It remembers the last sharing option you confirmed.
One photo
Open a photo and choose Export photo. Choose Stamped for the version with the visible overlays, or Original for the version without those stamps. Then choose Save to photo library, Share, or Save to Files. The version initially follows the photo you were viewing; changing it here does not change the saved photo.
“Original” describes the stamp. Drawings made on a photo may still appear in it. If you need drawings to stay editable after a transfer, use KMZ with editable drawings for the points or collections instead.
Share several selected points
Open Photos / Points, tap Select, and tap the points you want to send. Tap the share button in the bottom toolbar (then Share and export if it opens a menu). You can select points from the same collection without exporting the whole collection. Photos imported from the iPhone’s photo library can be selected here just like photos taken in GeoCamera.
To start with pictures already in the iPhone photo library, use the camera menu’s Import photo from photo library > Multiple photos choice. GeoCamera creates points for the selected pictures; see Import photos for the import choices.
Sharing and export options shows Points: N and Photos: M for this selection, plus the selected option and Share or Continue. Choose an image-only option, images with descriptions, an option without photo metadata, Export for a point file, or PDF report when the selected points have photos. Use Photo version to send stamped or original copies, then set Photo size and check the estimated photo total before continuing. The size applies to outgoing copies; it does not change the photos attached to the points.
If some selected points have no photo, they still count as points but do not add to the photo total. If none has a photo, image choices and PDF report are hidden; point-file export and QR codes PDF remain where supported. Tap Export and Continue to choose a file format, including KMZ, KML, GPX, and CSV.
Share a collection or several collections
For several collections, select the collections first and use the same sharing menu. The count and photo estimate cover the selected collections together. Export then opens the file-format list, including KMZ, KML, GPX, and CSV. The format screen does not ask for photo size again. For CSV field details, see CSV export fields .
Photo size for outgoing copies
Photo size offers Full size or a maximum longest side of 2560, 1920, 1280, 1024, 800, or 640 pixels. The app keeps the photo’s proportions and never enlarges a smaller image. Fit within file size… lets you enter a KB limit for each outgoing photo. It is a per-photo limit, not a limit for the whole batch or KMZ. If the limit cannot be met without going below the minimum output size, the app reports an error instead of sending a larger file.
The menu estimates the total size of the selected photos for the current choice. It measures in the background, so the number may appear after a short wait. Stamps, metadata changes, maps, audio, and KMZ compression can change the final file size; the estimate is guidance for choosing a size, not an upload-size guarantee. Photos unavailable on the device cannot be included in a complete estimate until downloaded.
The app remembers the size you use next time. Capture quality in Photo capture settings controls new shots; the size here controls copies you send later. Export never replaces the photo stored in GeoCamera.
KMZ and editable drawings
A standard KMZ uses the photo size you chose in Sharing and export options. KMZ with editable drawings keeps full-size display photos and the original drawing assets so the drawings can be edited after import. For several collections, its menu shows Full size and an estimate that includes those additional photo attachments; there is no resize picker for that format. KML/KMZ tips cover more advanced workflows.
PDF reports
Choose PDF report when the selection contains photos. The menu shows the current page layout, paper size, and DPI, with a settings button that opens PDF & Email settings and returns to your sharing choices. PDF report uses those settings rather than the Photo size picker. QR codes PDF is a separate points option and remains available without photos. See PDF report settings and point ordering .
