Android: Set the GPS accuracy for Location Tracking

  • Updated

You can set how accurately vWork captures your GPS location in the vWork settings. A more accurate GPS location makes it easier for your dispatcher to see where you are on the map and is also useful when you need to capture GPS location information in a custom field. 

Note: vWork only tracks your location when you are logged in to the vWork mobile app. 

To set the GPS accuracy for location tracking on your Android device:

  1. Tap vWork_Menu_icon.png  to open the main menu from the Jobs screen.
