For my next app (another tourist guide), I am on the move while collecting data. Since I don't have one of those fancy MacBookThingys, I'm relying on my iPhone and iPad purely. I'm strolling round the streets with my iPhone, plotting places on the streets. I use this handy app, which purely finds your latitude and longitude. I have tried many longitude and latitude apps, but this one is the most accurate, and easiest to use. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-latitude-longitude/id668745605?mt=8 I stroll down the streets of the Scottish capital with my iPhone giving coordinates and I type them into my iPad on the spot. So far, it's a working formula! Title Comments Hi guys, Just wanted to give you a handy app I am using all the time this week.

Save dragging your iPad around, just walk around with your phone, press a button at each location to shoot off the co-ordinates to your email or ipad so all the data is sitting waiting for you at home! Obviously a basic app like that not worth putting through on iTunes, so you could add it into your woodstock app (maybe make access via an admin login page if you dont want others to use) or get a cheap android phone so you can do a basic dedicated personal app to collect your data easier! Cheers, Paul :) Comments Hey Thomas, why don't you make an app using smug's message location plugin!

The problem is that I'm now on the move, and I didn't install that plugin on any of my apps. Argh! That means I can't just add it in the control panel. When I get home, the first thing I'm doing is getting this as a private app on my iPhone. For this trip, my method will do. As it turns out, the time will have to be spent somehow. It's whether I want to be on the street doing it, or in my warm heated house listening to music. Actually, you may be surprised to hear that the entering data on the spot is not too time consuming and at least I don't have to remember about it after the event! Comments Paul's idea is fantastic.
