I have a mobile app that runs as a PWA as well. In it I am trying to capture/upload images and then extract geo tagging information from it. How can achieve this ?

Hello Rakesh

Here is a component could help you to extract the Image Meta Data. Please try if you are receiving location through it - https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/10132/exif-image-metadata-extractor

Hello Rakesh

Anyways the Image will not tell about the Geo Location. You will need to take the GeoLocation Coordinates using the Phone GPS when someone capture the image and with the same you can save the location in an Entity. 


In forge there are multiple components for geolocations like https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/6018/geolocation 


Please feel free to ask in case you have doubts.

Hello @Rakesh V,

To get the location of the device while capturing an image, you can use our supported Location Plugin available on Forge: https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/1395/location-plugin 

Please let us know if you have any other question related to this matter.


Best regards,

Alexandre Jacinto

Hi Alexandre & Manish.. thanks  a lot for the suggestions. The solution works fine when image is captured at the time of upload. However , I have to give the users an option to upload an image from the gallery. In that case, I would still want the location that the image was taken. In most phones, images are geo tagged so was wondering if there was any way to extract that information out.
