Map View for populating forms with GPS info

Please include a "Map View" to show all forms / task / process raised based on the GPS information captured. This would be useful alternative search for user based on location.

    GPS is actually only as good as the device allows (which is normally 10-12m for most tablets). But this is good enough for most of our highway and rail projects.  You already "burn" the GPS of photos onto the image. If this wasn't burnt on, rather some data we could use, we could then export this onto our own "map-viewing" tool.  this could then be extended to forms and tasks

    Hi All,

    Good suggestion, however GPS is only going to be as good as Google maps allows which is within a meter of accuracy.  I'm concerned that this would not be within an acceptable range.  This is worth reviewing as the technology we use, Google maps, increases their accuracy but at this time I don't see this as likely.
