A simple app that syncs the GPS data and date/time from your Android phone to your Ricoh camera.
This app will let you pick your Camera from visible nearby BLE devices on first start. When the camera is turned on and/or its Bluetooth connection is turned on, the app will just reconnect automatically and start syncing, unless you close it.
Note that the app MUST be in the foreground while it's connecting to the camera, but it can be left in the background after that. You may or may not need/want to exclude it from battery optimisations and permissions removal.
Important
I have only tested this on my Pixel 9 running Android 15 and my GR IIIx. Any other configuration might work, but I haven't tested it and make no guarantees.
