I am using the "Geopoint" feature in my survey. I would like the data in decimal degrees but it converts the input to degrees, minutes seconds.  Is there a way to change this?

Hi,

  1. Open your survey in Survey123 Connect for ArcGIS
  2. Once you are previewing your survey, go into the Settings tab
  3. Select the Map section
  4. Choose the coordinate format for the Preview
  5. Publish your survey and download into the Survey123 field app to test

 

The available coordinate formats are:

 

  • DMS: Degrees Minutes Seconds
  • DDM: Degrees Decimal Minutes
  • DD: Decimal Degrees
  • MGRS
  • USNG
  • UTM/UPS

Thank you Ismael for your speedy response. I went into 123Survey Connect and changed the coordinate format. When I tried to publish it I got an error message that said “Unable to add feature service layer definition” Error code 400.

Hi Channel. The error you are getting has no connection with the coordinate format change you applied. You may want to open a new thread on that specific error (and provide a copy of your XLSForm in the thread for further investigation).
