From field survey to printed map
Three clicks
Set position, bearing and field of view. Label the viewpoint and link the original photograph.
Photographic context
Preview images, open their folder, replace links and read available GPS/EXIF fields without changing the manually drawn viewpoint.
Layout callouts
Generate photo frames and point leaders. Move and resize images, add descriptions and save page coordinates and dimensions in the layer.
Start from photos, too
Batch-import photographs using their GPS positions, or keep records without geometry in a manual-placement queue. Visible defaults define the initial field of view. The distGPS field tracks displacement from the original GPS position without changing source metadata.
Your data, your files
Create a temporary layer or a new GeoPackage, Shapefile, SQLite or FlatGeobuf dataset where supported. Default layer name: Photo viewpoint. The plugin keeps image references rather than copying or uploading photographs.
Languages and requirements
English interface; English and Italian manuals. Target: QGIS 3.28–3.44 with Qt 5 and a projected CRS in metres. QGIS 4 is not supported. Newly added functions require desktop testing before public release.
Portable styles and documentation
Choose classic rays, an oriented top-view camera, a bearing arrow or translucent FOV. Save QML or a supported database default style for reuse across projects. New layers use code, caption and distGPS first; legacy layers can be copied safely to an English-field GeoPackage.
