Manual Capture of GPS from Map Plus Button By Default

[Alan_Thorp]

Hi,

I use location capture via a map view for a lot of the apps that I've made. I find that this is a good method becuase there is a full screen map to place a point on, or an add button to add manually.

I did have this action creating a record with HERE() on the location column initial value, but this does not provide the most accurate location so in a way seems a bit pointless. My users have to then press the place mark above the mini-map to zero in with active GPS.

My suggestion is to allow location capture with GPS to be a default, or certainly selectable option. When a column type is LatLong there could be a check box or command in the initial value field, such as GPS(), that caused the app to carry out the same action as pressing the button above the mini-map. Seems kind of obvious this one so I'm very suprised that it isn't already available.

The action that I'm talking about is detailed under point 4 at this help article; it should be an automatic action: https://support.google.com/appsheet/answer/10106789?hl=en
