Solocator review
A mobile GPS camera that adds detailed location overlays and exportable evidence.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Solocator is a native iOS and Android GPS camera for fieldwork, inspections and photo-proof tasks. It stamps photos with GPS coordinates, bearing, altitude, date, time zone and UTC information, while a map view helps teams review where images were captured. Users can save stamped and original photos together, refine or lock the GPS position, and preserve a location record alongside visual evidence. It suits solo operators and organizations that need consistent, location-aware documentation from mobile devices.
The standard app covers core capture needs, including GPS, direction, altitude and date/time overlays, map review, and simultaneous saving of stamped and original images. The Industry Pack extends that workflow with editable notes, watermark overlays, street addresses, UTM/MGRS formats, cloud autosave, KML/KMZ/CSV export, batch editing and map tracking. Solocator uses one-time purchases rather than a subscription, with storefront pricing that can vary by region. Autosave and sharing connect with iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, while Apple Maps and Google Maps support map workflows.
Its focus is narrow and practical: capture overlays and organized geospatial evidence rather than broad project management or automated image analysis. Mobile-only deployment is useful for crews working in the field but less suitable for teams that require a desktop capture or review application. Support is provided through email and documentation. Choose Solocator when stamped photos, coordinate formats, batch edits and exportable location data are central requirements. Consider another tool if you need a free tier, AI features, or a wider desktop-based workflow.
