Hi.
I am looking at a poor mans phone app for data entry. Basically host a form on a web page accessible by mobile devices. User would answer a couple of questions and press submit. I think I can use the file upload to give an option to upload photo or video from the phone but would love to be able to access the phone GPS location.
Anyone done this using one of these forms or have pointers how to access this info?
Thanks.

Hi Steve,
That what forms do. Have you tried building a form with the form builder? It works great for collecting data. The only thing is how do you want to use it?

Thanks Eric, yes I have plenty of forms working but I am specifically trying to address the access of the phone based GPS location and how to get that submitted with the form. Any suggestions on this would be very much appreciated.

It's actually really simple using straight javascript.

Add two text inputs to your form.
Paste the code below into a html element. Adjust the item2_test_1 and item4_test_1 to the ID's of your actual inputs.

You can send it to a hidden field also.

I have created a simple form to collect email addresses for marketing a health supplement ..
Here is the link: http://bhoink.com/form/
My problem is, it works great on a computer, but will not work on IOS or Android or a tablet ...
Also, I am 74 years old, a disabled veteran who has had a stroke and is totally blind in one eye and partially in the other, so
I need some specific instructions on how to make this work ...
Thanks for your help,
Jacob

That's because your form is flash based. You need to upgrade to the new Form builder that is html based.

Hi,
Thanks for this nice feature with showing gps data.
But my form test on http://visioned.coffeecup.com/forms/VogelTelling-demo/
has 2 fields above for Latitude and Longitude and I copied the label id's in the html code, but it will not show up when browsing.
What could this be?
