Hi everyone,

 

I'm currently in the process of making a form to report Wildlife Sightings. It would  be really helpful to my colleagues if we had an image/map where users can drop a pin on to show an approximate location of the animal. 

A form was created http://still-eyrie-91505.herokuapp.com/ (you can see the image map used at the bottom where you can make a mark) , but I'm trying to switch it over and utilize Nintex. In this form, they embedded a Leaflet map - https://leafletjs.com/ 

 

Is it possible to embedd a Leaflet map into a Nintex form, if so any tips for that? I seem to be getting stuck.

 

Or, is there another option for having an image where users can draw or mark an "X" in nintex? 

 

Thanks, I really appreciate any help or insight you may have.

 

Ally

Hi,
Nintex forms has a GeoLocation control where you can record the co-ordinates. When clicking on the co-ordinates it can open on a map.

Thanks Simon. I actually need users to be able to drop a pin on the map or image to show an approximate location of the sighting. I also don't think they would want to spend time finding the coordinates. Thanks again for your input.

Fair enough.

Most modern devices have GPS and the GeoLocation control uses this to find the coordiantes for you.
