Creating photopoints

A new photopoint can only be added using the Covram mobile app.

Create a new photopoint

To create a new photopoint:

1. 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.
2. Tap the + Add button in the bottom right corner.
3. Tap the Photopoint button from the list which appears.
4. Tap Allow or Accept if the app requests access to your camera.
5. Take a photo using your device and accept the image when prompted.
6. Enter a label and relevant tag/s for the image when prompted and tap Ok.

Add a new photo to an existing photopoint

Once a photopoint has been established using the steps above, you may wish to return to the same point to take follow up monitoring photos. These will be added to the existing geotagged photopoint, allowing you to easily view change over time. To add a new photo to an existing photopoint:

1. 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.
2. Find the marker of the existing photopoint and tap on the marker. A popup will appear with the photopoint label.
3. Tap on the popup a second time to open the photopoint view screen. The photopoint view screen contains the photopoint label, any tags associated with the photopoint, and all previous images from the photopoint.
4. Tap on the + Add Photo button in the bottom right corner of the screen. The camera on your device will open.
5. Take a photo using the camera on your mobile device. The photo should capture the same feature as was previous photographed. This will allow you to compare, and identify change. Once you are happy with the photo, tap confirm to save the photo.
6. The photo will be added to the photopoint. Tap the back arrow to exit the photopoint view screen.
