Activating GPS and viewing current location
Enable GPS on your device
Mapeo Mobile uses the GPS of your device, so before you start using the application make sure that GPS or Location on your smartphone is enabled.
It will be different on each smartphone, but GPS or Location services can generally be found in the Quick Settings menu, which can be accessed by swiping down from the top of your screen.
Confirm GPS access in Mapeo Mobile
On the home screen of Mapeo Mobile, you will be able to see if Mapeo is successfully accessing your device's GPS.
If you didn't allow Mapeo Mobile access to your phone's camera and GPS the first time you opened Mapeo, you won't be able to use GPS information or include pictures in your collected data. For more on modifying app permissions, see I want to update Mapeo Mobile permissions.

Viewing your current location
By default, Mapeo Mobile will mark your current position with a blue dot at the center of the map and adjust the map as you move.
