hide-input and compact appearance don't work for geopoint type

Question

I've tried both hide-input and compact appearance type for geopoint field in my survey. Neither of which change the appearance on the survey.  The map is still displayed. I am hard coding the lat/long from a site number the user selects which gives me the correct location on the map. They don't need to see the map and I'm trying to make the survey as short as possible for use on a smartphone.

Unfortunately, I believe that is currently not possible. Nonetheless, please feel free to create an ArcGIS Idea regarding this functionality, or contact Esri Technical Support directly to discuss further about having an enhancement to Survey123.

Or alternatively, a workaround could be to put the geopoint question in a compact/collapsed group at the very bottom of your survey? (See attached file for a sample configuration.)

Best,

Is there a way to hide the geopoint question and map but still log the location?  Just takes up a lot of room.

Thanks

With regards to the challenge of having your point not being displayed in your current location, and your aforementioned statement:

I am hard coding the lat/long from a site number the user selects which gives me the correct location on the map.

I believe that, as a workaround, please try setting your geopoint question to read only will allow the location be 'calculated' by the site number and disabling the ability to edit the location of the survey.
