Manual coordinates SMART Mobile

SMART Community Forum

Hi,
We have had multiple issues over time with adding coordinates manually to SMART Mobile.
When entering the coordinates manually, SMART automatically changes the coordinates after saving them. The numbers just get changed, e.g. -12.9568 becomes -13.12364.

Previous times, it worked to download the most recent version of SMART Mobile. But at the moment that didn’t fix the bug. Is this something SMART is aware of and working on?

We rely on accurate coordinates and need to be able to enter coordinates manually. Hopefully this can get fixed.

The issue occured on multiple devices and different type of devices.
Kind regards,
Elke

Hi Elke,

The entered co-ordinate ultimately gets projected to the required projection system. Could you say more about what projections you are using?

Could you also say if the final coordinate is at the proper location, even if the number was not as entered?

Assuming this is build 478?

Cheers,

Hi Justin,

Yes this is Mobile version 478.
We enter coordinates in decimal degrees on the tablets.
We use OSM WGS84 map in SMART and the Garmin GPSs/InReachs maps for coordinates.

Is there another way to set the projection system in SMART?

Kind regards,
Elke

Could you please send me a bug report from one of the devices that reproduces this behavior so I can determine the configuration?

Let me ask one of our team members to replicate the error.
