Any plans on adding the possibility to access localization services / device gps?
Thank you

Please say more. We already offer geolocation. What else would you like?

Are you talking about using proximity within the app? I suspect so.
Essentially that’s not possible currently… we had a bit of a chat about it here:

Cheers,

Hello David and Paul,
I’m taking about using the device location coordinates as a variable, that we can use with Glide components.
Example:
I want to enable users to check-in into a local business (by tapping a button), only if they are close to the local business coordinates.

yep, I’d like that option too! No can do currently, I suspect the device variables are inconsistently locked down between Android and iOS devices meaning Glide can’t build in those features… yet.
