Description

From the listing uploaded by “split-store”.

This app is used to control a WiFi connected GoPro camera. When camera control is started, the app constantly monitors the device's current location. When the device is within a certain radius of one or more preset triggers, the app sends a command to GoPro camera to either start or stop recording a video. It was primarily developed for use on a motorcycle, where it is inconvenient to have to stop and fiddle with the camera, especially if it's not mounted within easy reach. But it can also be used in any situation in which you set the start/stop points in advance and then let the app handle recording control for you, for example on a ski slope, while bicycling,... You can set triggers to start, restart, stop and toggle recording. Triggers can also be set to activate only when you pass the point in a certain direction. Unfortunately GoPro has changed the API on the Hero4 and the application does not work with that camera. Context-sensitive help is available on every screen of the application. The app only requests permissions that are absolutely necessary for the correct functioning of the app. The app does not collect any personal information, does not collect any usage statistics and does not send any information anywhere else. The app does not and never will include any form of advertising. Before downloading this app please make sure that you can connect to your GoPro camera via WiFi and that you can control it remotely with an Android app. You will find detailed instructions on the GoPro web site.

GoPro GPS APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the GoPro GPS APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b93f5677f93dcfb48c7d271744b5a37d.
