Snippet: Two of the most commonly used geolocation strategies for rural resource-poor environments are distributing compound ID cards after an enumeration exercise or actively visiting compounds and geolocating the area of residence for individuals of interest [25] .

Document: Two of the most commonly used geolocation strategies for rural resource-poor environments are distributing compound ID cards after an enumeration exercise or actively visiting compounds and geolocating the area of residence for individuals of interest [25] . Although these methods provide accurate spatial information, they are not operationally attractive outside research settings [10, 21, 25] . Approaches that can be implemented without the need for house-to-house visits would facilitate the incorporation of spatial information into routine data collection and public health planning at the local level. If this can be done with sufficient precision it would support the identification of local-level disease heterogeneity [5, 18, 25] .
