Hello,

For our app, we’d like to take a picture with the smartphone,  
and return the picture + GPS coordinate to a database.

What can we use in bubble components ?

Thanks for your help 🙂

grab the plugin google geo coding. you will be able to save the gps cords and formatted addresses if you wish. the api key if free just follow the website from the plugin screen. bubble does have current users geographic position built in right at the bottom of the list you scroll down when saving most things… (same list as dosearchfor and currentuser) but geo coding is the right gps format for most other inputs.

Use the picture uploader element. It works with the phones and brings up the normal upload/take picture prompt.
