The GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) from where the form was filled out will be collected and displayed automatically on all forms submissions done through the DataScope application.

It is not necessary to perform any special procedure or configuration on your forms for the GPS location to be recorded.

Simply enable DataScope access in your device's settings:

📌 High accuracy GPS: How to activate it?

To get a more accurate location, you can go from your mobile app to Setup > and enable High Accuracy GPS.

It is possible that this option consumes more battery power on your mobile device.

Other recommendations:

  • Try to keep your device up high and in open areas, for best results.

  • Make sure to keep your device charged while running GPS applications. Low battery levels are one of the main reasons for lost signals on your device.

  • Restart your device and/or turn GPS off/on several times. It may help too often, resetting helps the GPS system recalibrate itself, which can lead to better signal reception."
