I have the Glide app and use it to display collections depending on proximity. If I travel to a new location, my collecting grid will be reset based on the proximity, which I do not want to do. I want it to only reset when I click the button to set data based on priority. How can I accomplish this?

I would suggest using Radar’s “Track Once” action to write the current lat/lon to a user profiles field.
Use that field to determine the proximity and visibility for your collection. Upon clicking a button, the new location is written again using Radar.
What’s your use case though? Why don’t you want it to refresh automatically?
Thank you for your response.
In automatic mode, it resets the collection data and causes data jumping issues in the application.

@ThinhDinh Track Once action is not avaiable in maker plan.
What about the location component? It might work for you if it doesn’t update the location over time, but I feel it’s not as good a user experience as a button (it’s a switch, and you might have to turn off the switch to stop live location update).
How can I store current coordinates if the user is not logged in to the app?
Oh that’s another problem… I didn’t know you have public users…
I don’t have a good recommendation for this. Maybe you still use my original recommendation to write the location to a helper table with a single row.
However, I would seriously consider if your app is a good fit for Glide.
