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.
