Hi Ranga,

I can think of a multitude of reasons, here’s a couple:

   - In large campaigns (e.g. Polio campaigns) where a large mobile
   workforce are asked to go out to specific locations (villages, streets,
   homes), you want to MAKE SURE that you’re not being ‘gamed’ … so an
   automated unalterable location capture on a simple anonymous event survey
   form, fulfils that monitoring purpose
   - In conflict areas, you might want to set up (we may be looking at
   this) a simple self-contained polling app that auto-captures GPS
   coordinates every 30 minutes or so
   - Just to save time for busy users who have queues of patients
   - ….

I would also ask this functionality (a configuration option) to
auto-capture reporting date/time as well! In one of our scenarios … data is
only ever entered ‘live’ - so being able to capture both of these fields
automatically saves time.

Cheers

David
