# gps coordinates are not recorded / exported

Asked by LKwh on 2016-09-23

In my survey for collect mobile one required attribute is taking a GPS coordiante with the tablet. When i export the collected data from the tablet and import it in Collect desktop, the coordinates are not in the data. 
There seems to be no problem in the survey designer preview. On the tablet it also seems ok, after selecting "Start GPS" the coordinates and the accuracy are displayed after some seconds. When I move to the next attribute and back the coordinates are still there.

Thank you for spotting this. I have released a new version fixing this issue. It might take a few hours until it's available over Play Store. If you want to the new version directly, you can download it from[here][1].
