Acquire Photo GPS

Phone GPS. Photos taken with a smartphone with the location setting turned on will save the GPS coordinates of the photo location within the photo file. The GPS module that comes with Heritage Collector can then display the photo and show the GPS tags on satellite maps. You can print and share maps via a paper print or PDF. This makes it easy to find graves, study the location of an old homestead, grandma and grandpa's old home, or places you have taken photos on a vacation.

I've been getting reports that our users have found this test page. I'm surprised because I have not linked this page anywhere.  So all I can say is I guess you can watch my trial and error development along with all my funny typos, missing words, evolving grammar. I applaud your tenacity. I hope to finally be able to share all the many things you can do with Heritage Collector Suite.
