Live Location - not for production use

[Jeff_Hager]

Hehe, no, I’m not going to ask. Purely based on the response below. If Glide wanted to allow us to obtain a user’s location unprompted, I’m sure they would have given us that option. Totally understandable too. It would be way to easy to hide a location grab within a custom action. Like I said above, it’s using my current location to obtain my current location, so it’s a bit pointless in theory, although it would be awesome to skip the location switch, it does start to get into some scary territory of user tracking.

Location Component

I’m guessing the intention is to make the user aware that their location is being obtained, so it’s a switch as opposed to automatically obtaining the location behind the scenes like the special values do.

Correct.
