# Viewing Location Details

Every location you capture stores valuable metadata. Here's how to review it.

#### Opening the Location Panel

1. Tap a Record on the map
2. In the Record Card, tap the <img src="https://3544178300-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJ8P3pqhxdFwQkIOjOUut%2Fuploads%2F79P5XYQxNbn3in8DTmd1%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=5605d3e7-0529-4d78-a7a2-6571cb01bc1b" alt="" data-size="line"> **arrow icon** (left side)
3. The **Location Panel** slides in

#### What You'll See

**Header Section:**

* Record name and archetype
* Coordinate search/entry field
* Redraw button

**For Single Points — Details include:**

* **Source** — Which GPS captured this (device name or "Manual")
* **Latitude / Longitude** — Precise coordinates
* **Altitude** — Elevation when captured
* **UTM Coordinates** — Zone, Easting, Northing
* **Modified by / Modified on** — Who last changed it and when

**GPS Sentence Details** (not available for manually plotted points, expandable for technical info):

* **Fix Quality** — How reliable the GPS fix was:
  * "GPS" — Standard GPS signal
  * "DGPS" — Differential GPS (better)
  * "RTK Fixed" — Survey-grade precision (best)
  * "RTK Float" — High precision but not fully locked
* **Horizontal Accuracy** — How precise the location is
* **Vertical Accuracy** — How precise the elevation is
* **Number of Satellites** — More satellites = better accuracy
* **HDOP/VDOP** — Technical quality measures (lower is better)

**For Lines and Polygons — Summary includes:**

* Total length
* Total area (polygons)
* Perimeter (polygons)
* Number of points
* Individual point details (tap to expand)

#### Quality Badges in Draw Mode Preview

Look for these badges indicating high-precision GPS:

| Badge     | Meaning                                           |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **RTK**   | Real-Time Kinematic — survey-grade accuracy       |
| **Float** | RTK Float solution — high but not fixed precision |
| **DGPS**  | Differential GPS corrections applied              |
