Hi All,

I see a number of implementation demanding automatics capture of
coordinates without the entrant's pressing the capture button to basically
ensure data is collected at the right place especially in surveys.

Further to this request is; would you want coordinated captured for every
field/datalements? because it also likely that if someone wants to cheat
he/she will capture a few variables at the right location and move on and
complete else where.

Thinks of the data - coordnates per field and the battery use??

Regards
