GPS Tagging of Photos in Forms

GPS Tagging of Photos in Forms

Dear Autodesk Team, As a frequent user of Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), I’d like to request a feature enhancement that would significantly improve field documentation and traceability for site activities. Feature Request: Enable GPS metadata capture and export for forms and embedded photos within forms. Current Limitation: While ACC allows GPS data to be included in photo reports, this functionality is missing when photos are embedded within forms. This gap limits our ability to accurately track the location of form submissions and associated visual evidence—especially critical for compliance, inspections, and quality assurance workflows. Proposed Enhancement: Automatically capture GPS coordinates when a form is completed on a mobile device with location services enabled. Include GPS metadata in form exports and reports. Allow users to view location data within the ACC interface (e.g., map view or coordinates). Optionally tag photos within forms with GPS data, similar to standalone photo reports. Use Case: As a Project Coordinator, I rely on forms to document site installations, inspections, and progress. Having GPS data embedded would: Improve accountability and traceability. Support location-based analytics and reporting. Enhance coordination across teams working in distributed or remote environments. I believe this feature would benefit many users across construction and infrastructure projects. Thank you for considering this request, and I’d be happy to provide further input or participate in a feedback session.

The team is gathering information about this request, and we have a couple of questions:

  1. Is it accurate to say that this idea/request is primarily requesting GPS Tagging of Photos in Forms?
  2. Do you have a need to have a single GPS Location per single form?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Yes that is correct. Each form/photo within the form with GPS coordinates would be very helpful.

Good day @emilio.mercado,

Regarding the same topic discussed above:

Is it possible to remove the GPS Location shown for photos already uploaded into forms on ACC?
