Very nice but... all users must have an arcgis online account, so very restrictive
I've been looking at this in terms of QR codes. I haven't tried it yet (I plan to give it a go shortly) but something like this (https://qrd.by/) will let you scan a QR code and send it to an address including the coordinate at which it was captured. The address could be a workspace on FME Server that generates a HTML form to be filled in and submitted.
The form to be filled in could include a field for a file upload - in this case a photo. So the user could:
- Take a photo
- Scan a QR code (they could just have it on a piece of paper)
- The code sends a coordinate and opens up a form
- The form allows upload of the photo
It's a bit hacky I know, but it could work. I also found a QR code app called pic2shop which can be used to send coordinates (needs the pro version) but also is a solid base tool for building your own QR code tools.
Actually, now I think about it, it doesn't even need QR codes if the photo is geotagged. Just visit an FME Server URL that generates a form. Upload the photo in the form. Have FME process the form and generate the coordinate by extracting it from the geotagged photo's exif info. Pretty simple and just needs a bookmarked URL, not even an app.
And if the photo isn't geotagged, FME Server could open up a web map interface to allow the user to pick a coordinate/location off the map directly (or even open it anyway to allow fine-tuning of the photo location).
Hope this helps. I'm planning to do something similar (if I get the time) in the near future since I think it would be useful demo. Keep an eye on the FME blog, since that's where I'll describe the project if I do.
Here is an example that might be useful:
