Capture GPS Co-ordinates as part of your Cellphone Audits
SurveyThumb is now able to maximise the value you get out of data captured in the field by attaching GPS co-ordinates to the locations being audited. This can be used to provide proof that the data was captured in the correct location or for additional geo-location analysis and reporting.
With the proliferation of smart phones coming onto the market - most of
which support GPS technology - SurveyThumb is able to interface with the GPS hardware on the device to capture and record the location co-ordinates being audited. Although not supported by all cell phone operating systems, this feature is available for use with a number of the leading brands. This then allows you to overlay audit data collected with geo-location data to create a more detailed view of the environment being measured.
SurveyThumb includes Google Maps on the reporting portal to plot the locations that were audited, in a simple and informative way. These GPS co-ordinates are also available for export to support integration with existing 3rd party GIS solutions.
