In case your device has a built-in GPS but still returns your location inaccurately
In case you have to set a location of a project and you’re not in the site, but you can identify it from the map.

Things to know:

Project Locator uses the integration of Google Maps.
Google Maps uses GPS coordinates system to identify yours and other identifiable locations’ global addresses on the world map.
GPS coordinates is composed of the longitude and latitude lines that when intersect will form a point on the grid or to put it simply “a location on the world map”.

Access Google Maps application from your tablet/smartphone or click/copy this link: https://google.com/maps and open in your browser.
Navigate on the map and locate where the project is. On the default flat view, buildings or facilities are displayed as rectangular/regular quadrilaterals (rectangle/square) shapes on the map.

You may also try using the google map’s search feature. Input the name of the project or related information like its address to find it.
Once you find the project’s facility, get its coordinates by (click + hold) within that area to mark it. Then this icon will appear indicating you selected this location, together with a dialog box containing the selected area’s information including the GPS coordinates that you need.
