Collect geographic coordinates in a local coordinate system

[janekb]

Hi all, does anyone knows if it is at all possible to collect coordinates using KoBo Collect in a different coordinate system than WGS84 (EPSG:4326)?

Maybe this post discussed previously should help you solve your issue:

Record GPS data according to WKT specification

Note, if you merely want to have the components in distinct ‘columns’ (I assume you are extracting the submission data as a CSV or equivalent ‘flattened’ format…) then you can readily accomplish this by just adding some additional suitable calculations to your form. eg type name calculation -----------+---------+------------------------- geopoint geopoint calculate lat selected-at(${geopoint}, 0) calculate long selected-at(${geopoint}, 1) so lat and long will…

This is helpful, thank you.
