New iPhone Photo Apps: Photo+Map and Photo+Map Lite

Photo+Map

Photo+Map make it easy to combine your photo and map(s) all on the same final picture.

With Photo+Map there's no need to lookup the EXIF information to find your GPS location, the map(s) next to your photo will indicate where the picture was taken !

You can choose the photos from your library or take a new photo using the built-in camera of your iPhone (feature not available on iPod Touch). Your device will then locate where you are and retrieve the corresponding maps to combine them with your photo.

Save your new Photo with maps to your Photo Library so it can be imported to your desktop machine, or use in any other applications running on your device (Twitter client, Flickr uploader, etc...)

Photo+Map get your location using the built-in location system available in the iPhone OS.

The new photo+map is saved at the original resolution. Photo taken with the built-in camera will be 1600x1600 instead of 1600x1200. The maps are added to the original dimension!

Main features:

• Take photo from your camera or use an existing photo
• Use the GPS (iPhone 3G) and/or the Geo location service to locate where you are
• choose between 1, 2 or 4 maps on the final photos
• print on the final photo the timestamp and the latitude/longitude information of your current location
• save the final image to the photo library
• option to save original photo to library (photo without maps)

Photo+Map Lite

The difference between Photo+Map and Photo+Map Lite is that Photo+Map Lite will force you to relaunch the application after you create a photo combined with the maps. Photo+Map let you create as many photos without the need to restart it. The other main differences between Photo+Map and Photo+Map Lite are:

• Number of maps on the final image : Photo+Map offers 3 choices : one, two or four maps instead of one and four for the lite version,
• Map zoom level control : Photo+Map offers more control for the zoom level on each map,
• Accuracy : Photo+Map offers more choices for the accuracy level before fetching the maps,
• Max Time : Photo+Map offers more choices for the max time before acquiring the maps.
