# What happened to the latitude/longitude question type in my forms and surveys?

## Our latest iOS update brings exciting new features for marking locations! You can now draw lines (polylines) and shapes (polygons) on maps, alongside the existing option to pinpoint a location (now called a "point").

If you are familiar with building or modifying a form, you know that you've always been able to add a geographic question type called **Latitude/Longitude** to your forms. We've recently released a web update that added two new geographic question types (**Polygon** and **Polyline**) and changed the name of the **Latitude/Longitude** question type to **Point.**

**Heads up!** Drawing lines (polylines) and shapes (polygons) on forms is currently only available on iOS devices. But don't worry, this feature is coming soon to Android too!

(Psst...Check out this article for complete details on how to integrate lines and shapes into your project.)

**New look on mobile app:**

Before point drop

NEW! Label your point

Coordinates, label name and type of geospatial item are displayed. **NOTE: For consistency with GeoJSON specifications, longitude coordinates are listed first in the mobile display. However, in any exported PDFs, latitude coordinates will appear first.**

To edit the point:

1. Tap the pencil icon
2. Click **Edit** in the map view
3. Drag the point to the new location
4. **Save** (update label if needed)
5. Go **Back** to the survey

You will also notice that the display of the point data is rendered differently on the web when opening a survey in Edit.
