Hi Alex

It's pretty straightforward to record current location on mobile - using mobileStartTrackingSensor, mobileSensorReading (when you want to grab current location) and so on.

Just make sure you start tracking when the user starts your app to give the GPS system time to get going and you might also want to check the horizontal accuracy of your reading(s) to ensure that it's within a reasonable threshold and not eg. 1000m. Reasonable = 3-10m probably.

I've done a few location apps so what you're wanting to do is quite possible. Good luck and have fun! :-)

cheers

Alan
