# X2D GPS Companion A specialized iOS companion app for Hasselblad X2D camera users. Automatically geotags your photos by monitoring the photo library in real-time and applying precise GPS coordinates from your device's location services. ## Important Notes - **Mainland China Users**: Location data is recorded using the GCJ-02 coordinate system (Mars Coordinates) when operating in mainland China. Initial location previews in Apple Photos may appear offset. To resolve this, simply reopen the Photos app or tap the location for accurate positioning details. - This app works with any other camera with similar features, too. ## Key Features - **Automatic Geotagging**: Seamlessly embeds GPS coordinates into photos from your Hasselblad X2D - **Background Recording**: Continuous location tracking even when the app is not in the foreground - **Live Activity Support**: Real-time recording status on lock screen and Dynamic Island - **Multi-Language Support**: Fully localized in English, German, French, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese - **Granular Permission Management**: Fine-grained control over photo library and location access - **Auto-Start Recording**: Optionally begin recording automatically on app launch - **Comprehensive Logging**: Detailed activity logs for troubleshooting and monitoring ## System Requirements - iOS 26.0 or later - Hasselblad X2D camera ## Required Permissions The app requires two separate authorizations: 1. **Photo Library Access** (Full Access) - Enables automatic GPS coordinate embedding in photo metadata - Full library access is required (limited access is insufficient) 2. **Location Services** (Always Allow) - Enables continuous background GPS tracking - Must be set to "Always Allow" for background recording functionality ## Getting Started 1. Download and install [**Phocus 2**](https://apps.apple.com/app/id1452280435) from the App Store to enable the Street Shot Assistant workflow **and choose to save to the system photo library** 2.

v1.4 (Build 19) Improved photo geotagging accuracy and clock drift tolerance. The app now prioritizes historical location records from the database, using time-based interpolation to determine the precise coordinates at the moment of capture, rather than using the device's position when the photo appears in the library. The matching time window has been widened from ±60 seconds to ±100 seconds to better accommodate clock differences between the camera and the phone. Diagnostic logging has also been improved to record actual time deltas and the matching strategy used, making it easier to troubleshoot issues.
