I made a survey assignment which was responded to 280 times, the only problem i have is when i started looking at the results all my entries (people were asked to click a specific location on the map) are defaulted to the 0,0 coordinate which happens to be somewhere of the coast off africa. I am for 100% sure this is not the location all entries where submitted to and i fear the error may have been from my side(altough i am not sure what i have done wrong)
Is there anyway to find the correct coordinates (of the correct location ) and what did i do wrong to get this result so i can learn from this in the future?

Thanks for anyone's time reading and or trying to anwser this.surveyresults.jpg

Sorry for not clarifying.

Correct. You can't do anything now.

Off the west coast of Africa (where you have displayed above) is lat-long of 0,0. All forms without locations will end up there.

The users likely have location services turned off. This is the default behaviour for web-based forms and I believe most windows PCs (at least my company). Users need to manually enable (PC) or allow (web browser). For mobile apps, it is also up to the user, but I find that most users accept the prompt, while some reflexively hit "no".

Since 100% of respondents have location services off, I'd assume web-based form? You may wish to include a geopoint, make it required, and have them drop a pin. EDIT: Will add that you can restrict the geopoint so they have to move the point outside of that general area.

Thanks for your response and suggestions, i did indeed work with a web based form. All your suggestions indicate that there is no ‘fix’ for the forms filled in now( only future ones) is that correct?
