🎯 Why is GPS important?

The problem without GPS:

Your technician Juan has to go to "El Sol Urbanization, Block 3". You arrive at the urbanization... and there are 20 identical blocks. Ask a neighbor, walk around, waste 15 minutes.

15 minutes × 8 pools a day = 2 hours lost

2 hours × €20/hour = €40 lost every day

The GPS solution:

Juan opens the app, presses "Browse" and the phone tells him: "Turn right, the pool is behind Block 3, next to the playground"

It arrives exactly, without wasting time.

Conclusion: Accurate GPS = Time Saved = Money Earned


🏗️ How the system works

For the administrator (office):

  1. In the pool tab, you adjust latitude/longitude on the map (modal when creating or Edit Data).
  2. Guards — the technician will see View on Map (Exact GPS) if there are coordinates.

For the technician (field):

  1. In the visit or file, you can propose coordinates (map + optional photo) if the pin is wrong.
  2. The office reviews in Coord. Pending and approve or reject.

Day-by-day navigation:

  1. My Route → visit → link View on Map / external apps (Google Maps, Waze).
  2. Also Scan QR in the pool to open the report.

📝 STEP 1: Enter the pool (office)

  1. OperationalClients and Pools → client → Facilities tab.
  2. Tap pool name (pool tab).
  3. In the New Pool / Edit Data modal, use the built-in map for the pin.

📝 STEP 2: Open the map

Find the "GPS Coordinates" field and press the map 🗺️ or "Select on map" button.

A window will open with an interactive map.


📝 STEP 3: Find the location

  1. In the map search bar, type the address
  2. Press "Search" or Enter
  3. The map will move to that address

Example:

You write: "Calle Mayor 123, Madrid" The map shows that address

Option B: Move the map manually

  1. Drag the map with the mouse
  2. Zoom with the mouse wheel (or + - buttons)
  3. Visually search for the pool

📝 STEP 4: Place the exact pin

This is the most important part.

Where to put the pin?

SituationWhere to put the pin
Pool visible on satelliteJust above the pool (dark blue rectangular)
Indoor/covered poolAt the entrance door to the premises
Large urbanizationAt the access door to the pool area
HotelAt the entrance to the garden where the pool is
Private houseAt the door of the house or entrance to the garden

How to move the pin:

  1. You will see a red pin on the map
  2. Click and drag the pin to the exact location
  3. Release when well positioned

⚠️ BE ACCURATE!

An error of 50 meters can cause the technician to:

  • Enter through the wrong door
  • Go to the neighbor's pool
  • Waste 10-15 minutes searching

Spend 30 seconds getting it right and you'll save hours of work.


📝 STEP 5: Confirm the coordinates

Once the pin is properly placed:

  1. Press the "Confirm" or "Save" button
  2. Coordinates are saved automatically
  3. You will see something like:

Latitude: 40.4168 Length: -3.7038


Try it yourself:

  1. Open Google Maps on your mobile
  2. Enter the coordinates (copy and paste)
  3. Check that it leads to the correct place

Or ask the technician to check:

The first time you go, let it tell you if it arrived safely or if the pin would need to be adjusted.


📱 How the technician sees it

When the technician opens his app and sees this pool:

Capture : gps-coordinates

Captura con datos demo AquaDemo.Capture with AquaDemo demo data. By pressing "How to get there" or "🗺️":

  • Open Google Maps (or Waze, or Apple Maps)
  • You already have the address set
  • Just follow the voice prompts

🔄 GPS Proposal System (technical)

What if you don't know exactly where it is?

Situation: A new client tells you "my pool is in the complex", but you don't know exactly which one it is.

Solution: The technician can propose the GPS from his mobile phone.

How it works:

  1. The technician goes to the pool (guided by the client or approximate direction)
  2. Open the app and enter the work report
  3. Press "Suggest GPS"
  4. The mobile saves the exact coordinates where it is
  5. You (admin) receive a notification
  6. You enter Planning → Coordinate Approval
  7. You check the pin on the map
  8. Approve or reject the proposal

Advantages:

  • ✅ You don't have to go look for the pool
  • ✅ The technician is on site, he knows exactly where it is
  • ✅ You only validate from the computer

💡 Recommended flow for new clients

  1. Register the client and the pool WITHOUT GPS (or with approximate)
  2. The technician goes the first day
  3. The technician proposes exact GPS
  4. You approve
  5. Next visits, GPS is accurate

❓ Common problems

"The map does not load"

→ Check your internet connection. The map requires connection.

"I can't find the address in the search engine"

→ Try entering only the street and number, without the city. Or search for the area and navigate manually.

"The pool is new and is not on the satellite"

→ Put the pin on the nearest empty lot, or wait for the technician to suggest GPS.

"The technician says the GPS leads to the wrong place"

→ Edit the pool, open the map and move the pin. Ask the technician to confirm exactly where it is.
