# Capture GPS Location

If the security feature "Capture GPS location" is enabled, the signers will need to allow access to their location coordinates before being permitted to sign the document. The GPS coordinates captured will be reflected in the audit trail.

Geofencing is similar to creating a virtual barrier around a certain area. This fence designates the area we want to monitor, manage or control. In case of Leegality - Signing your clients documents within a designated area.

## Activate Capture GPS location

> **Info — Note**
>
> In order to successfully capture a location, the **Accuracy Threshold** and **Permissible Radius** should be set at a greater range (2000 - 4000 m instead of 1000 m). This is because location capture depends on the device (e.g., laptops/computers have poorer accuracy compared to mobile devices).

## Signing Journey of Capture GPS location

During the signing journey, the GPS location will be captured, and click on “proceed”, the captured location will appear in the audit trail.

> **Info — Note**
>
> Signer has to give the location access to the browser for capturing GPS location while signing the document.

### Scenario A: Successful GPS Capture

The flow will continue to operate as it does now if the invitation was signed or evaluated and did not violate the location-based or accuracy-based constraints and the document will be signed successfully. 

### Scenario B: Failed GPS Capture

Set configurations will be reviewed by the system and if there are any breaches  then the invitee will be allowed to retry the signing or reviewing attempt.
​
1.   If **Accuracy-based Restriction** fails, the message *Your GPS accuracy is low. Please check your device’s location service and try again.* is displayed. Refer to the image below.

2. If **Location-based Restriction** fails, the message *You are outside the permissible area. Please try again from a different location.* is displayed. Refer to the image below.

> **Info — Note**
>
> Accuracy-based restrictions function best on mobile devices and tablets, which have the necessary hardware for precise GPS capture. Laptops and desktops may not provide highly accurate GPS location data.
