OT (?): Bookmarking GPS coords

[Paul Hibbert]

Alex, I used this lesson [ http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/30379-how-do-i-get-the-location-and-use-the-digital-compass ] as the basis for a GPS location in one of my iOS apps, if it helps I could save the relevant card to a new stack and send you a copy, I’m pretty sure it would work on Android too, I just haven’t tested that.

It wouldn’t be difficult to adapt it for your needs.

Paul
