Hiya, I’m wondering if the pro feature for geolocation would allow a user to upload their current Lat & Long to a cell (or couple of cells) on a sheet when they clicked a button? I am looking to verify a users location, like a check in, however I need stored Lat and Long rather than a visual pin in map. Thanks! Keep up the good work! ---

I would also love a feature like that👍🏼 ---

Would you be okay with a dialog that alerts the user their Lat/Lng is going to be submitted prior to it being sent and allow them to opt-in once or always? We’re always thinking about everyones privacy! ---

Thanks for reply @Jason. I’m happy to hear you are thinking of everyone privacy 🙂 I am a privacy advocate too. I would want the user to hit a button to check in. Notification is paramount for something like this. A additional dialog even after hitting check in button would be fine. I don’t require a blanket opt in but if it exists that’s fine too. (maybe a toggle for this from an app admin point of view) This feature would allow me to work on a pro app for a client. ---

I think this should be fairly straightforward to add, I will add it to the list 🙂 ---

The list @Jason was referring to was Glides internal todo list. It is not something we have access to. Occasionally we are given an idea of the order and priority of items/features on the list. ---

Hi @Jason can you give an indication when Glide is planning to implement Lat/Lng based upon current location? ---

I’d like to upvote this as well. The ability to submit location data is critical to my industry (transportation). Thanks! ---
