Hi @Paragon41,

Regarding your first query:

If you download your geoshape data in an xls dataset or a csv dataset you will get the data in the format you shared.

To make your data readable for Google Earth or ArcMap, download your geoshape data to KML format as outlined in the image below (DATA>Downloads>GPS coordinates (KML)>New Export):

Regarding your second query:

If you wish to connect your image taken by your smartphone (using the KoBoCollect android app) with GIS software, you should configure the following settings under your smartphone:

  • Location on (GPS on) - device (under device’s settings)
  • Location on (GPS on) - camera (under camera’s settings)

Have a great day!
