Description:Want to geotag your digital camera photos? Have Lightroom or Aperture?
PixTrack is the Dropbox-syncing GPS tracklogger you need.
1. Tap the Start button.
2. Take your photos. PixTrack tracks your progress.

PixTrack includes handy features:
• To-the-second clock display (to make it easy to sync your clock on your camera)
• Optional notification reminders that it's running, to avoid unnecessarily draining your battery.
• History of your previous trips which syncs with Dropbox. Add GPX files on your computer and view them in PixTrack.
• Retracing your route? Show previous tracklogs, or any GPX file, on the map as you record.
• Don't want to use Dropbox? Logs can also be exported to other apps or iCloud Drive using standard iOS functionality.
• Support for iPad - view synced tracklogs, or if you have a GPS-capable iPad use it instead of your phone to save your phone's battery.
PixTrack is the easiest way to take advantage of the build-in geotagging functionality in today's photo software.
