Is it safe to check my field photos on this site?

Yes. The audit processing and coordinate mapping take place entirely inside your web browser. Your contractor photos are never uploaded or stored on our servers.

What should I do if a contractor's photo shows no location data?

A missing GPS geotag indicates the worker either turned off location services on their mobile device or ran the image through messaging apps or editors that scrubbed the metadata. In high-trust workflows, you should flag these files as non-compliant.

How does the altitude check distinguish between sea level and ground level?

EXIF metadata records GPS altitude relative to the WGS84 ellipsoid (sea level) reference. Our tool extracts this value directly. To check ground-level elevation, verify the offset between the reported coordinate's topographic ground level and the EXIF value.

What formats are supported for audits?

The validator supports standard JPEG, TIFF, and HEIC (iOS device) capture files.

Can I automate these contractor check rules via API?

Yes. Enterprise accounts can integrate the gps_area validator into your contractor portal to automatically approve or reject photo submissions before they reach review.
