Submitting a Location

The form for submitting or editing an existing Location is available at https://grassroots.tools/private/service/field_trial-submit_location.

A Location defines the geographical location of the field where a Study takes place. The location can be defined by a normal postal address or GPS coordinates. The Grassroots system has libraries for determining GPS coordinates from any address data that is submitted, although the accuracy will depend upon how much data is given.
