Project Locations

How it works

1. Open a project's settings or create a new project.
2. Click the location field.
3. Start typing an address, landmark, or place name.
4. Select the correct result from the dropdown suggestions.

Vortyk stores two pieces of data from your selection:

• Formatted address. The full, human-readable address (e.g., "123 Main Street, Denver, CO 80202")
• GPS coordinates. Latitude and longitude for precise mapping

Both are saved automatically. You do not need to enter coordinates manually.

Why locations matter

Setting a project location is one of the most important steps in your setup. Here is what it enables:

Map view

Your project appears as a pin on the global project map. Click the pin to navigate directly to the project. Without a location, the project will not appear on the map.

Reports

The project address is printed on your generated PDF reports. Clients see exactly where the work was performed.

Photo context

When you upload geotagged photos, the map view shows both the project location and individual photo pins. This gives you a complete spatial picture of your documentation.

Client sharing

When you share a project with a client, they see the project location on an interactive map alongside all photo locations.

Editing a location

You can change a project's location at any time:

1. Open the project.
2. Go to project settings.
3. Click the location field and search for the new address.
4. Select the correct result.

The new location updates immediately across the map view and future reports. Previously generated reports keep the original location.

Tips

• Be specific. Select the exact street address rather than just a city or neighborhood.
• Use landmarks when needed. Google Places recognizes building names, parks, and points of interest.
• Set a location for every project. Even if the address is approximate, having a pin on the map is better than having none.
