Geolocation

You can now collect your respondent's geolocation by enabling this option in Restrictions. The respondent's browser coordinates are captured from the first page of the survey, with their consent. In Reports, you can find the location details as respondent variables: country, and location (latitude, longitude, and address). You will also find Zoho Maps and Google Maps links to the respondent's location in individual responses.



Enabling location access on your device (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android) allows your device to identify your location, as well as select applications on the device to use this information. If you're concerned with privacy and do not want to share your location details, you can disable this option at any point. However, most applications, such as Maps and Photos, recommend sharing your location access for better functioning.

To enable location services on Mac:

  1. Open System Preferences on your Mac device.
  2. Click Security & Privacy and select the Privacy tab.
  3. Click the lock icon in the bottom-left corner to make changes to the settings.
