Location Widget without refresh

It would be nice if you could hide the location widget and automatically capture the location coordinates and other information when the user opens the form.  This would prevent users from recording the wrong location info if they forget to submit it at the location and also if they have to edit the form before submitting.  It seems silly that the users should have to click on it manually and click again on refresh (2 more clicks!) when the ipod already does the work for no clicks.

 

Thanks,  T.

  Hi Taire, every record captures meta data (including the location data for you already). The Location widget is meant to be used by a user to capture additional location data within a record.

   

  Hope that helps,

  Tony

  Thanks, Tony, that is very helpful, however, we need the user to complete or at least initiate the form at the required location, so we do need them to click something to say that they are at the right coordinates.   I just wish it were fewer clicks, more like a confirm.
