We need to get this app integrated into iFormbuilder. It is the most accurate method of getting a precise GPS location and would be a better solution than the current location widget.

  Darius from looking at the What3Words documentation it takes the lat long from the device and converts it to the 3 word saying https://what3words.com/about-us/

  This means it can only be as accurate as the GPS location that the device is receiving.

  Now if you use the feature to move the location you can make that more accurate by moving the point to that location then it would be more accurate. https://iformbuilder.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020628812-Reference-ID-How-do-I-allow-users-to-change-location-inside-the-Location-element-

  Hi Darius,

  I am familiar with what3words as we have researched calling out to them through the 3rd party element but could not return any data without a direct integration to our app.

  Can you explain your use case further here and what you are looking to do with what3words?

  Darius' reply was sent to our spam because Darius replied to the email and not the actual post so I'm posting here on his behalf:

  "We would use it in place of the current location widget as it is more accurate and produces an exact GPS location based on selection rather than just close to where we are standing"

  I actually asked for that feature over a year ago, I did not realize that it had been implemented. Thanks Ben works nicely, and just as good or maybe even better than What3Words.

  Glad to hear this will work for you. We implemented it a few months back and its works well for this purpose.

  Happy Building!
