User Coordinates dialog

This dialog allows users without a tethered GPS device to enter coordinates manually or using a URL, and then convert them automatically to the default map projection system defined for the application in InfoAsset Mobile (see Application dialog).

The converted values will be automatically inserted into the specified fields of the current report.

The dialog is displayed when Enter Coordinates is selected from the Map group of the Report tab on the report generator.
