🧭 Location Component

Care to elaborate? Based, on those API’s you shared, they only locate based on IP, which can be somewhat broad in area (in some cases, my IP registers as 3 states away) and in any case, there is no glide functionality to obtain a user’s IP address. That aside, if you use an API to obtain coordinates through the new API column, or simply use the location component to obtain accurate GPS coordinates, it still requires action from the user to take the coordinates (stored locally) and physically write them to the sheet. I guess my question still is, how is a google sheet aware of an app user’s physical real time location (like Glympse) without any action from the user? As far as I’m concerned, a Glide app is not aware of a google sheet at all, since it is in direct communication with Glide’s servers and internal database. It’s the internal glide database on the server that then syncs with the google sheet. There is no direct connection between app and google sheet.
