I know it is better to have this feature than to not. But I wanted to know of any examples of Survey123 being used without the Geopoint Map feature in it and how this can affect the data having no GPS points when being used to edit in in ArcGIS Pro ?
Hi Gina,
This is covered in the Survey123 Create Surveys FAQ. Frequently asked questions—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS
In short, even a survey without a geopoint will still attempt to capture a point, it just may not be as precise and is derived solely from the device's location.
Separately, if a survey doesn't have any location at all, which can happen if location access is disabled on the device or you use the web app and prevent the browser from capturing a location, the point will save as 0,0.
Hi Gina,
We are using S123 to audit substation asset attributes that have no spatial component.
We can Open the inbox to check an assets attributes, edit if necessary and add image(s) OR Collect new assets with attached image(s).
We didn't intend to edit in ArcPro, so no domains/defaults were created. All taken care of with choices and defaults in the xlsform.
However attributes will still be editable in Pro as free text.
BUT: Two hitches:
Cheers,
Roger.
