Williamsburg, Virginia – Hunter Research and Technology, developer of the popular Theodolite app series, is excited to announce its newest iPhone app, Nav Camera.
Nav Camera uses the proven navigation, augmented reality, and image processing engines from Theodolite to create an app that focuses on photography and video recording with data overlays. The app has been crafted with attention to detail, and benefits from over five years of development and testing heritage, along with real world usage by surveyors, geologists, architects, engineers, competitive sportsmen, first responders, military personnel, and search and rescue workers around the world.
Nav Camera lets users take photographs and record movies in landscape and portrait orientations with geolocation overlays and custom notes. Geolocation overlays include date, time, position, altitude, GPS datum, and compass bearing. Overlay data is updated in every frame when recording movies, which is great for documenting dynamic scenes or scanning an area. Users can enter up to four lines of custom notes to be rendered into the overlay, which is perfect for job descriptions, project names, company/staff information, invoice numbers, or additional comments/documentation. Various parts of the overlay can be turned on or off, and multiple overlay colors are available.
Nav Camera includes features for serious users including multiple reticles (three types of crosshairs and an SLR-style focus/exposure indicator), colored lens filters to improve use in dark conditions and preserve night vision, and multiple position formats including military grid reference system (MGRS), universal transverse Mercator (UTM), British/Irish National Grids, and six latitude/longitude variations. The optional “Datum Pack” adds over 220 geodetic datums to the app for more accurate position and altitude computation from GPS data. Optional datums include NAD-27, NAD-83, OSGB-36, ED-50, and hundreds of others, covering regions and countries on all continents around the world.
Find out why apps like Nav Camera and Theodolite, and their field-proven results, are featured in Apple Keynotes, written up in magazine articles and professional journals, and used by everyday explorers and pro users around the world. Where will you take Nav Camera on your next adventure?
Nav Camera works on any iPhone or iPod Touch with a camera, running iOS 7 or later.

I have been daydreaming about something like this in a HUD format for years. Come on, wearable electronics, you’re so close!
I don’t know why companies keep giving apps priority to iPhone, the bigger market share is Android and that disparity is growing constantly. Do they have something against success?
Here is a basic Android version :

If only we could trick ISIS into using something like this for their videos.
