gps tracker

[Alex Shaw]

Hmm. I've just tried the following function by Ralph DiMola and no luck.

function GetGpsCords

    local tGPS

    if not mobileSensorAvailable("location") then return empty
    put mobileSensorReading("location", true) into tGPS
    if tGPS["latitude"] is not empty and tGPS["longitude"] <> 0 then
       wait .25 seconds
       put mobileSensorReading("location", true) into tGPS
    end if
    if tGPS["latitude"] is not empty and tGPS["longitude"] <> 0 then
       return tGPS
    else
       answer "GPS is not enabled or your GPS can't determine your 
location." & cr & "If your GPS was just enabled, please try again in a 
few minutes." with "OK" titled "Proximity Search"
       return empty
    end if

end GetGpsCords

On iOS for the LC standalone settings I have ticked Location Services, 
GPS & WiFi in the Requirements and Restrictions section and 
mobileLocationAuthorizationStatus() returns 'notDetermined' on the test 
iPhone 5. The test app doesn't appear under the listed apps in Settings 
-> Privacy -> Location Services, so how this work?

On the Android test device, Location is enabled under settings and I 
have Fine and Coarse Location enabled in the LC standalone settings.

Using LC 7.0.5 with a iPhone 5 and Nexus 7. All up to date.
