Route GeoQuest
Welcome to the GeoQuest travel survey!
The GeoQuest travel survey is an exciting, national research study using the Ipsos GeoQuest app to build a picture of the travel patterns of Great Britain’s adult population.
On this website, you can find more information about the survey, information on privacy and data protection, answers to frequently asked questions, and contact details if you need our support.
About the study
The GeoQuest travel survey is designed to help us map out the daily travel habits of adults in Great Britain, whether they are out and about locally or travelling further afield.
Your participation will help us understand where people go and how they get there. In return, we will provide you with an Amazon e-voucher to thank you for taking part. You don’t need to be an avid traveller to qualify for this survey: we are interested in all sorts of journeys, everything from a work commute, taking the dog for a walk or driving across the country!
We collect your data in two forms: the answers you give to our surveys and the GPS data you provide through the GeoQuest app. We will invite you to complete a short recruitment survey first, during which you will be shown how to install the GeoQuest app from either the App Store or the Google Play Store.
Once you have installed and set-up the GeoQuest app, there will be a Lifestyle survey available in the Survey section for you to complete. Over the course of the next two weeks, to fulfil the survey requirements you will need to re-open the app at the start of each day and complete a 1 min daily diary survey which you will find in the survey section of the app.
After the two weeks survey period, you will receive a message to say your participation is complete. Provided you have filled in your daily surveys and we have received your travel data (which the app does automatically when it is re-opened each day), your voucher will then be sent to you.
Thank you for your interest in our travel survey!
