New Feature

Enhanced GPS - Pinpoint Accuracy, Seamlessly Integrated into Your BuilderPad Camera 🛰️

Capture location‑stamped photos with industry‑leading accuracy thanks to our new Enhanced GPS feature!

Leveraging dual‑frequency GPS and more frequent position checks, your project photos will now show where they were taken, including the exact location with pinpoint accuracy. This enables you to document your progress better, verify all of your material deliveries, and streamline project inspections like never before.


How to Use the Enhanced GPS Feature:

Step 1. Enable the Enhanced GPS option in your Preferences 📍

In your BuilderPad mobile App, tap on your Profile icon,
open the Preferences tab, and switch on the Enhanced GPS feature.

Step 2. Use the Camera Mode

In the BuilderPad mobile app, while in a selected Project, tap the + icon, and tap on Take Photos to open your camera mode. From there, you can enable your Location Stamp in the settings widget when needed.

3. Snap & Stamp

As you take your picture, BuilderPad will automatically fetch your precise location and embed it in the photo's on‑screen stamp.

4. Review Location Details

After posting the photo, just open and tap on the photo in your Activity Feed to view the exact latitude/longitude where it was taken.

What’s cool about this feature? 😎

  • Unmatched Accuracy
    Dual‑frequency GPS reduces common positioning errors, so your photo stamps will now land within inches of the true location you are taking the photo at.

  • Real‑Time Tracking
    The location of your device is refreshed more often while you’re in camera mode, ensuring every photo taken reflects your exact current position.

  • Seamless Client Updates
    Show homeowners exactly where work is happening on the project plan, boosting trust and satisfaction.

  • More Battery Management Options
    Enhanced GPS uses slightly more power while using the camera, but it provides much more accuracy. If needed, you can disable this feature in your Preferences tab to make the app less battery-consuming while using the Camera feature within BuilderPad.
