This is purely referential information that some clients may find useful for technical projects related to room positions – if they wish. The App does not collect location data. Location services are not needed during the reverse look-up or qualification of GLN labels. When Location services are disabled, the App’s Map feature button is disabled too. *Micad GLN Scanner is a complementary App available for Micad IPR clients. To use this App you need a Micad IPR system version 3.6 or later. The GLN Scanner App does not work stand alone.

The extension is only plain text and plays no part in location data other than description.
