Hi Connor. Yes this is possible. If you add a photo attribute to your form, once you export the data from Konect a seperate file is created with geoferenced details of the photographs.

  I’d also recommend adding a unique ID attribute to your form so you can use that field to merge the exported photograph information with the other data you have collected in the field (if required). Happy to provide further context or explanation if needed.

    Thanks Matt, I’ve already got a unique ID field. It was more that I need the geotagged info on the photo itself (date/time and lat/long). I have seen some of my photos have come through after exporting with the info but others appear to be missing lat/long for some reason.

      Hi Connor,
      Your users will need to enable location permission for the camera to record. Location will also need to be turned on.
      The other problem may be no GPS signal such as being indoors.

        Thanks Michael. Is that first suggestion on the camera app itself on the phone/tablet? Or are all the suggestions within Konect?

      Konect uses the default camera app. The default camera app will need permission to save the location into the EXIF data for the photo.
      For Android go to Settings > Camera settings > Click on “Save location”
      For iOS go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services, then select the “Camera” app and choose “While Using the App”

        I seem to have sorted it out for android. Thanks!
