How to center an annotatable image of an map from a previous geopoint's coordinates?

[ChipMorgan65]

I've got a simple Survey 123 Connect XLSform (attached) to practice with image annotation of a map. What I want is to set a geopoint and then annotate a map based image centered on the geopoint's coordinates.

The logic is simplified for testing.

The image question uses annotate for the appearance and method=camera,browse,map for the body::esri:style.

The map is annotatable as expected. It's just not centered on the geopoint's coordinates, but instead on my device's current location.

Any thoughts?

Default and Calculate settings are ignored by an image question when referencing lat-lon. I'd guess because it isn't a traditional "geopoint" question it doesn't know how to handle the input.

What I mean by that is you can specify a default or calculate value for geopoints and have them go to that location. Ex:

Unfortunately, I don't think that can be done. But it may be worth making an Idea.

Understood, and thanks for your reply.

A (partially) saving grace is that folks that will be annotating maps will probably be on-site and thus the map will center on their location.

I came to the same conclusion as @abureaux ,  A couple thoughts: What are the survey takers collecting with the annotation?  Could you use the geoshape type, and then have a comments field to describe the shape?

I also tried a backward approach of seeing if I could pull the coordinates from the exif data of the map grab, but unfortunately coordinates are not collected.
