Hello good people
I was wondering if there a way to automatically capture GPS coordinates in
the background without the enumerater/data collecter physically geting the
GPS. Specifically in XLS for example can i include it in the *META *data so
that its captured in the background ? and if not what are the alternatives?
Thank you
Charles
Charles,
There's no easy way to capture GPS points in the background. As Mitch
explained in https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opendatakit/0BwuSacXNBM/8eTW2wtzuXEJ,
this feature would be hard to do well and would eat batteries.
Before we can offer alternatives, we need to understand what higher
level problems you are trying to solve.
