Creating visits
Learn how to create a visit
Visits are created using the Covram Field App, on a mobile device or in a browser at app.covram.com.au. The steps depend on whether the site already exists.
On a mobile device, Covram needs your location before you can start. In a browser, location is set for each photo instead, using the photo's own location data, a point you pick on the map or coordinates you enter.
