If you have allowed the Metaroom Scan App to access your GPS location, your scanned spaces will have a precise GPS location encoded into the 3D room model. This allows you to retrieve accurate geographic coordinates and integrate spatial data into your projects.
Please note: GPS location data is available for spaces scanned on or after 1 April 2024.
How can I enable GPS location access in the Metaroom Scan App?
Follow these steps to enable GPS tracking while scanning:
- Open the Metaroom Scan App on your Apple Pro device.
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Tap Location.
- You will be redirected to your device settings. Tap Location, select While Using the App, and enable Precise Location.

From now on, your scanned spaces will include precise GPS location data.
