Learn how to take your first photopoint.
Background
This is the simplest use of Covram. Our goal is to lower the barriers to capturing environmental data to help you get started on your assessment and monitoring journey. In our experience this will be a learning process which you will improve at over time. Rather than overthinking whether you have selected the perfect photopoint, go out and give it a try!
Taking a photopoint
To take a new photopoint:
- Open the Covram mobile app on your device. A map should appear with a blue marker indicating your current location. If you can see a list of projects, tap on any project to enter the map view.
- Tap the
+ Addbutton in the bottom right corner. - Tap the
Photopointbutton from the list which appears. - Tap
AlloworAcceptif the app requests access to your camera. - Take a photo using your device and accept the image when prompted.
- Enter a label and relevant tag/s for the image when prompted and tap
Ok.
The label entered should be unique, and descriptive enough to remind you of why the photo was taken. A good rule is to include the reason for the photo and the location (if applicable). For example
Kikuyu Invasion Site 14. Tags allow photopoints to be filtered in the web app. This will become more important as the number of photopoints in a project grows.That's it! You have successfully captured your first photopoint. To view your photopoint in the Covram web app go the next step.
