How to Add GPS Data to Photos in CrewBox

Short answer: you don't have to — it's automatic. Grant location permission once and every capture carries its coordinates. Here's how it works and everywhere the GPS shows up.

Photo Details tray with the GPS coordinates row and map button

The GPS coordinates row in the Photo Details tray — the map button opens the exact spot.

Getting GPS on Your Photos

  1. Open the camera in CrewBox — the app requests location permission on first use.
  2. Allow it. From then on, every photo and video you capture records latitude and longitude at the moment of the shot — along with the timestamp and your name.
  3. That's it. No per-photo step, and it works offline (GPS doesn't need cell signal); coordinates upload with the photo.

Where the GPS Data Appears

  • Photo details tray: open any photo full-screen → Details — the coordinates are listed, and tapping them opens the location in your maps app ("where exactly was this taken?" answered in one tap).
  • PDF reports: the report Settings tab has a photo GPS toggle — print coordinates under every photo for insurance claims and dispute documentation (report settings).

Why It Matters

Time-stamped, GPS-verified photos are the difference between "we documented the damage" and provable documentation — adjusters, inspectors, and courts weigh location-stamped evidence differently.

No GPS on a Photo?

Location permission was off at capture time, or the photo was imported from the gallery. Enable permission for future captures — coordinates can't be added retroactively to old shots.
