How to add GPS coordinates to a form
The GPS Coordinates input inserts a Get Coordinates button on the form that when clicked, finds the latitude and longitude for the app user. This information cannot be edited, but it can be deleted and recalculated. You can click to determine whether the coordinates are correct. If the GPS coordinates are required, you won’t be able to submit a form without getting this information. FormsPro uses Google Maps as its web mapping progam.
