Hi There,

It was recommended in the Success Community that I come here.

We are hoping to automatically capture the geolocation of a mobile device when a new Task/Call is created in Salesforce1.

Ideally, an on-screen field that would be read only and would auto populate.

I have managed to get an on-screen popup by incorporating this visual force page as a mobile card - https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F0000000AwiFIAS

But can't figure out how to 'capture' this information.

Basically, by the end of a day, we would like to be able to plot/see on a map where our reps had created Activity(task/call) records following client visits.

We have found a number of applications like this on the app exchange, though I am reasonably positive my basic requirement can be handled without buying add on applications/functionality.

My logic being that if I can get the device coordinates to display, surely they can be captured.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks,
Steve
