Toggle whether GPS coordinates are saved against images

Description:

GPS coordinates can be recorded against images uploaded to and taken within Insite to help improve the credibility of inspections. The GPS coordinates are either:

• recorded as images are taken using the camera via the Insite mobile/tablet app or,
• it may already exist on an image file if the image is being uploaded to Insite (via either the mobile/tablet app or web app)

This article outlines a setting that can be used to disable this feature.

Notes:

• When taking images through the mobile/tablet app, permission must also be granted by the device.
