How Does Geolocation Work with QR codes?

Geolocation in Ubiqod Forms

Integrated forms in Ubiqod come with a geolocation option. When activated, the user is prompted to authorize geolocation. Their current position at the time of submission is then transmitted along with the submitted form data. It is available in the connectors for mapping.

Why use geolocation in Ubiqod?

Geolocation in Ubiqod enhances data reliability by ensuring that submissions are made from the expected location. This feature is particularly useful for:
  • Proof of presence: Confirm that a person is physically at a specific site when submitting a form.
  • Security and compliance: Ensure certain operations are only performed within designated areas.
  • Process automation: Trigger location-based workflows without manual intervention.

How accurate is geolocation in Ubiqod?

The accuracy of geolocation depends on the device and the technology used:
  • GPS: Typically accurate within a few meters, best for outdoor use.
  • Wi-Fi & Bluetooth: Provides good accuracy indoors.
  • Cellular networks: Less precise, but functional in areas with good coverage.
  • IP-based location: The least precise method, with accuracy varying by city or region.
Yes. When geolocation is enabled, the user must grant permission before their location is captured. If permission is denied, Ubiqod will proceed with form submission but without location data.

Can geolocation be disabled?

Yes. Geolocation is an optional feature in Ubiqod forms and can be enabled or disabled based on your needs. Users can also manage location permissions through their device or browser settings.
