GPS Field for Locations

Yes Please! Would be amazing to be able to grab GPS coordinates off of your mobile device and put them into a field. If we could do this I could switch our city’s tree inventory software over to airtable.

Voting for this! We need a way to grab a field technician’s location when they complete a job. It would be alot less complicated if we could just have this baked into Airtable!

Yes this would be extremely useful

This feature will be useful to perform rough survey.

I think there’s a workaround to this -

1. Set the mobile device to share location data within images;
2. Take a picture; upload to Airtable using the mobile app;
3. Use the Airtable API to inspect the image;
4. Parse the lat/lng and update the record.

Bob’s your uncle.

If Airtable would simply support URL schemes for mobile apps, iOS and Android workflow apps could be used to capture location data and insert into forms or apps, thus paving the pathway for location data to be posted directly to your databases.

We’ve built an extension for Airtable form that allows users to geo-locate themselves. The coordinates are then added to its field after the form is submitted.

Moe, Does it cost $39 a month for a personal/non commercial use?

How do you inspect a image with the API

Please please add this feature

I would also love this feature.

As an addition or alternative to grabbing location from the mobile device currently accessing the Airtable record, supporting a system like What3Words (https://what3words.com/) would be a way to have more human-friendly representations of GPS locations, both for reading them, and for inputting them (as opposed to raw lat/lng values which would be long numbers that could get misread). Using What3Words as a field type then makes it essentially a "street address" field too.

Please Please Please add this ability.  

I'm using an automation script to grab the latitude and longitude co-ords from Flespi and putting it against vehicles in my fleet. =CONCATENATE to get the GPS co-ords.
