Geotag video camera vs Show Articles in Map
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Geotag video camera
An app which displays an overlay of a map along with the coordinates on screen which can be used via screen recordings (uses mapbox or geoaplify apis). Have tried manual video recording options but the overlay wouldn't get saved to the final recording properly or needs frame by frame processing to insert the overlay which would be resource intensive. Double tapping the screen opens up the settings menu where the geoapify and mapbox api keys can be inserted. You will have to create an account and just add the api key from the website. (Have tried various leaflet options but none of them worked as intended..) FEATURES * No ads (Almost all of the play store ones have ads in them) * FOSS * Clean, fast and lightweight HOW TO USE * Just record your screen or take a screenshot to get the photo or video with the overlay.
Show Articles in Map
Note: You must also install Location Map Viewer to display the results. This app adds the option Show Articles in Map to any app that can shown/send/share a geo location or geo-uri . This app hooks into the android system to intercept "view geo-uri". When getting a geo-uri it asks encyclopedia wikipedia (or travelguide wikivoyage or knowledgebase wikidata or photogallery wikimedia) and shows the results in Location Map Viewer (or in any other installed app that understands the format 'kmz'). Location Map Viewer shows a map with bubbles (or article-icons if enabled/available) for every wikipedia article found. If you click on a bubble you get a popup with a short article description and a button that links to the full article. Here are some f-droid apps that are compatible with Show Articles in Map navigation: OsmAnd, public transportation: Transportr or oeffi translate postal address to geo Acastus Photon Share your current position LocationShare or My Position Required Android Permissions: INTERNET: to download article data from wikipedia or wikivoyage Server .
