Just as you can track who created or edited a record, you can also track where the user was when the record was created, and what the accuracy of their GPS was at the time. This is useful if the user is using the 'locate me' way of defining the geometry for the record.

Collecting data by GPS is very useful, but the usefulness of that measurement depends on the accuracy of the GPS at the time it was measured. If the accuracy is 5 meters, that's good enough to bring you back to the same place again in the future, however if you need to find a particular plant or a pipeline, you may need high precision GPS. InfraMarker supports high precision GPS by using a bluetooth GPS receiver to get the GPS coordinates from.
