Enhance GPS / GIS capabilities

More work to be done on GPS / GIS integration, as at present the drawings are not spatially aware. Ideally you want to be able to locate a point against your position, similar to how google maps works and even screenshot and annotate against it

Needs to have greater accuracy overall.

    Come on Viewpoint, you are way behind the curve on GIS. Years ago we suggested location awareness, and Priority1 only delivered a my location GPS field - hardly cutting edge. We need the ability to show / use current location on a map or drop a pin and assign a Form / Task like you can do currently on Plan interface.

    The reporting of GPS fields is very poor, it often crashes. Yellowfin is slightly better but we need this integral with the web interface with ability to visual other form / task content such as colour / size / shape etc. Alternatively give full access to MY data using a direct link to the database or significantly improve your API offering so I can stream into my own GIS product such as ESRI.

    Geo-location of the drawings or access and integration with GIS systems would be ideal.
