Hi Davide! When you get a chance, please [introduce yourself here](https://forum.getodk.org/t/-/6671).

GeoODK Collect isn't a core ODK tool. It's a fork of ODK Collect that hasn't received an update for more than three years. Much of the mapping functionality that is in GeoODK Collect was pulled into ODK Collect years ago and we continue to improve those features. You can try those out at [https://docs.getodk.org/form-question-types/#location-widgets](https://docs.getodk.org/form-question-types/#location-widgets).

As to basic information on ODK, have you read the docs at [https://docs.getodk.org](https://docs.getodk.org)? Start there and if you have a specific question, post it to this topic.
