Without geopoint type question, how can I access coordinate data?

I did not use an explicit geopoint question in my survey. I know it seems outlandish, but I have good reason for it.

If I recall, in this instance survey123 will automatically record geopoint or coordinate data regardless. Anyone know how can I access the coordinate data?

So far the surveys were completed offline, so perhaps the coordinate data will reflect the online upload locations. But for future reference, knowing how to pull the geopoint data will be very useful.  

Thanks!

Kiley,

Does this blog post help with that?

However, it almost seems like you may not be able to get location data without a geopoint.

What if you were to make the geopoint as "read only"? Would that help?

The same article above states how to extract location data:

And finally, this thread discusses the hidden geopoint feature:
