Hi,

I want to build an app that can be used on a mobile phone, it should let the user use his camera to take a picture, and this picture should be uploaded to a database (when connected to WIFI). This picture should contain GPS data. The picture should _not_ be sent to the users Google photo account or to the Gallery on the mobile phone of the user.  
Then I want to create a website with a map that shows the uploaded pictures as small icons or place-markers.

My questions are:

- Can I use Bubble to make this?
- What plugins should I use?
- Is there already an app made in Bubble that use this functionality, so I can take a look?

Thanks.

Bubble create web app, to work you have to be online. If you need a offline app, you have create a native app (Android, IOS). You can create easy this functionalities on Bubble, but for online application.

Hi @marcel.bulk, welcome to Bubble 🙂

- You should have a data Type “Picture” with fields “Picture” (of type Image) and a field “Location” (of type geographic address)
- In data type User, you should have a field “Pictures” (which is a list of “Picture”)

When a User uploads a picture, just run a workflow and Create a Picture, with Location=Current geographic position

Then, you can do a Search for Pictures for the data source on your map, and pick “Location” in the Address field dropdown. That should do the trick
