Survey123 calculating geopoint defaults back to GPS

AndySchmidt

I am having an issue with Survey123 calculating a geopoint which defaults back to GPS location. I am using Collector to launch the survey and pass values to the survey including a Latitude and longitude value then calculating the geopoint using concat(string(${LATITUDE}), ' ', string(${LONGITUDE})). It initially takes the calculated point then zooms to my current device GPS location. I can get the location back by pressing the refresh button on the map in survey123. This worked in the past but with the recent updates in version 3.0 this is no longer working for me. I want it to default to the calculated location so it shows the location of the asset vs the location of the device where the survey is taken at

Defaults to device GPS After pressing the refresh button it changes to the calculated X,Y from above

Hi Andy,

To pass the location to be used in the map, you should use the center=<lat>,<lon> parameter instead of calculating from fields. That being said, I do see the behavior you are describing and will file an issue to fix.

Hi,

In my form I have a geopoint field called "inspectionLocation" and then two fields that capture the coordinates through the calculation column:

inspectionY:	pulldata("@geopoint", ${inspectionLocation},"y")

inspectionX:	pulldata("@geopoint", ${inspectionLocation},"x")‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

And then I pass that into a geopoint row in the repeat once again through the calculation column:

${inspectionY} + " " +${inspectionX}‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Hope that helps.

Hi Andy,

Hi James Tedrick, I am having the same issue, however, I am already using center = (lat, long) to pass the coordinates from collector to survey123, but now need to once again pass the same coordinates to a related table (repeat) within the survey. I tried to do so using a similar "concat" to the above, but it doesn't work (it actually seems to be working when testing in the survey123 connect app, but then doesn't work in the actual (iphone) app. Is there a fix/workaround for this?

Hi Chaim

Are you using the pulldata('@geopoint') function as part of the calculation? This sounds similar to an issue that is being worked on. We will be releasing a release to the early adopter community that should address this soon (3.4.119); could I ask you to test once it's available?

Hi,

Yes, I am using the pulldata("@geopoint", ${....},"y") function. I also saw elsewhere that there is a more general issue with coordinates not auto-captured in related tables, so perhaps this is a related issue. If this is to be addressed in a short release that is great news, and I will certainly be happy to test.

Hi James,

I'm having this issue now, where the coordinates passed from a point in my map are overwritten by the device GPS. Has this bug crept back up? The coordinates pass properly when I use the map on the web on my PC, but not when I use them on my phone, both in the apps (Explorer, and Field Maps) as well as mobile web browser.

It does this for one of my Surveys, but not 2 of the others, I can't see any difference in the URL schemes that I'm using to pass the coordinates.
