A. Creating an Image Geo-Tag Question
An image geo-tag question has multiple elements like question title, question keyword, description, and some quality settings. To understand them better, we will take a example and create it on Collect.
Example: We want to get the image of every respondent along with their location. For this, we will add an image geo-tag question on Collect. This question will look like the image below.

- Question Title: "Capture an image of the respondent:"
- Mandatory Question: Yes (Check-marked)
- Question Keyword: "image_location"
- Image Quality: Medium (You can change image quality based on your preference)
- Location Accuracy: Medium (You can change location accuracy based on your preference)
