Overview
The Result map shows the geographical location where each element of a Checklist Result was completed. This is how you verify that work happened where it was supposed to — and how you spot anomalies like answers submitted from outside a Location's expected radius. This article covers how to open a Result map, how to read pin colors and shapes, and how to interpret the GPS confidence radius.
Users must be Super Users or meet any of these conditions to view a Result and its Result map:
Be an Assignee or Reviewer on Schedules where Results are visible to Assignees
Be the Performing User or Reviewer on Schedules where Results are visible to the Performing User
Be a Reviewer on Schedules where Results are visible to Reviewers only
Hold a Role with the Results: View permission
Why this matters: Result maps turn Checklist data into spatial evidence. For inspections that are supposed to happen on-site, the map confirms compliance. For audits or incident reviews, the pin trail shows exactly where an Assignee was when they answered each question.
GPS preconditions
Result maps depend on Mobaro having permission to read the device's location while the Performing User is completing the Checklist. If permissions are off or set to approximate location, pins will be missing or far less accurate.
Best practice: Walk new Performing Users through enabling precise location for the Mobaro app the first time they sign in. The platform-specific guides below show how:
Critical: Approximate location can shift the recorded pin tens or hundreds of meters from the actual position. For Locations with strict geofencing, this can cause valid completions to register as out-of-bounds. Always allow precise location for the Mobaro app.
How to open the Result map
1. Open Results
Navigate to Results in the Mobaro Backend.
2. View a Result
Select a Result and click View.
3. Show the map
In the upper-right of the Result detail view, click Show Map.
Reading the pins
Each pin on the Result map represents a Checklist question or element. The pin's color tells you the score, while the pin's shape tells you whether it's a single question, a group, or one of multiple questions answered at the same spot.
Pin colors (score)
 | Green: Question or element completed with the maximum possible score. |
 | Yellow: Completed with a score between the minimum and maximum. |
 | Red: Completed with the minimum possible score. |
 | Grey: Completed but no points awarded. |
 | Black: The geographical position set for the Location itself (not a Checklist answer). |
Pin icons (shape)
 | Pin with Dot: Single item or part of a group at the same position. Indicates the pin hasn't been opened in the side panel yet. |
 | Pin with Plus: Multiple questions or elements answered at the same geographical location. Click to open a side panel listing all of them. |
 | Pin with Equal: A specific question or element. Click to open a side panel showing only that one item. |
GPS confidence radius
When you hover over or click a pin, Mobaro shows a colored radius around it indicating how confident the system is in that pin's accuracy. The radius reflects the device's reported GPS accuracy at the moment the answer was recorded.
Radius | Confidence Level | Approximate accuracy |
 | High | 0–15 meters / 0–49 feet |
 | Moderate | 15–50 meters / 49–164 feet |
 | Low | Over 50 meters / +164 feet |
Note: GPS accuracy depends on the device, indoor/outdoor conditions, weather, and connectivity. A pin with low confidence isn't necessarily wrong — but it's worth a closer look when validating compliance.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Why don't I see any pins on a Result map?
A: Most often, location permissions weren't granted when the Performing User completed the Checklist. Check the Performing User's device settings — Mobaro needs precise location access for the app.
Q: Why are some pins far from the Location they were supposedly completed at?
A: Either the user wasn't actually at the Location, or the device fell back to approximate location (which can be hundreds of meters off). Check the pin's confidence radius — Low confidence in particular suggests approximate location was in use.
Q: Can I see a Result map for Checklists completed offline?
A: Yes, as long as the device captured GPS coordinates at the time of answer. Offline Checklists store the location locally and submit the pins along with the rest of the Result when the device reconnects.
Q: Does the black pin (Location position) move with the user?
A: No. The black pin is the static geographical position you've set for the Location itself, not the user's position. It's there as a reference point so you can see how far Checklist answers were from the expected location.
