Preferences, GPS and Photo Upload:

You can choose to upload GPS positions and photos automatically by selecting the appropriate settings in the [Preferences] page of PlantPlaces.com Mobile for Android.

Auto Synch over Wifi: Will automatically upload GPS when your phone is plugged in/charging AND on wifi. This minimizes data and battery usage.

If this setting is checked, you will not see an "Upload" button on the GPS A Plant screen. If this setting is not checked, you will see an [Upload] button on the GPS A Plant screen, so that you can choose when to upload.

Upload Plant Images: Will upload photos you take of plants. This will ONLY upload photos taken with the PlantPlaces.com mobile app; PlantPlaces.com Mobile does not access photos you have taken with your phone's camera app or other apps outside of PlantPlaces.com Mobile.

If the auto sync settings are not checked, you can choose to upload your GPS positions by clicking the [Upload] button on the GPS screen. Or, if you don't want to upload the photos and GPS positions, you don't have to - you can see them on your Android device..

Username: If you enter a username, this will be associated with the GPS locations and plant photos that you upload. You can then see your sustainability report here: http://www.plantplaces.com/perl/sustainabilityreport.pl However, you do not have to enter a username if you don't want to.
