How do I capture GPS location data during a site survey?

SiteSurvey captures GPS coordinates automatically at the point of form submission, using the location services on the surveyor's mobile device, so no manual entry is required.

For indoor environments where GPS accuracy is limited, surveyors can drop a pin on a floor plan or site map within the app. This gives a precise reference point for each record without relying on satellite signal, which is useful in buildings with multiple floors or basement areas.

Each location record is stored alongside the rest of the form response, including the timestamp and surveyor details. When you view submissions in the web dashboard, you can filter by location or view plotted positions on a map to understand coverage across a site.

Location capture can be made mandatory in the form builder, ensuring no submission is accepted without a valid coordinate or map position. This is particularly useful for asset inventories and compliance inspections where you need to prove exactly where each item was recorded.
