[All Plat-Admn-202 Questions]

Universal Containers (UC) delivers purchased containers to remote construction sites. Customers supply UC with crossroads or location markers.

Which field type should the app builder use to capture this information?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The best choice for capturing geographic location data, such as crossroads or location markers provided by customers, is the Geolocation field type. This field type stores latitude and longitude data, allowing accurate pinpointing of locations on a map. Geolocation fields are suitable for any application that needs to handle coordinates for mapping and proximity calculations.

A: Number field is not specific enough for geographical coordinates.

C: Reference fields link to other records, not geographical data.

I feel like Reference might be for linking to other records, not for capturing location data. Geolocation seems like the best choice.

I’m a bit confused. Could Number work if they just needed to input coordinates?

I remember a practice question about location data, and I think it was also about using Geolocation. That seems right here too.

I think the Geolocation field type makes the most sense for capturing location markers, but I'm not entirely sure.
