Get GPS latitude and longtude coordinates from survey

[ErikPhi]

Description

Hi,
I am struggling on how to store GPS latitude and longitude coordinates from my respondents. Could you please guide me on how to solve this?, perhaps there is an additional package, as leaflet, I could leverage from in order to store those values as part of the survey. I aim to store GPS coordinates in a periurban location in Peru with reasonable error measure so I can map those values for my reseach as part of my sampling framework. Code chuck would be helpful. Thank you!

We have a template for using a leaflet map, which sounds like it might be the solution that you're looking for: https://surveydown.org/templates/custom_leaflet_map

In our template, the map records the value of the state that is selected and stores that in the database. But in your case, you would have to modify that to store the coordinates that the user clicks on. I don't know exactly how to do that, but with AI tools today, hopefully the LLMs can help you sort through the app.R file to figure out what exact code needs to be in the server function to store the values.

Thanks Dr. Helveston! Will drive through LLMs, let's see if it works though! Thanks for your contribution to the community regarding survedown package!
