Greetings to all.  
After having solved thanks to @Robert_Petitto and his example, reverse geolocation, I wanted to ask a question to the experts of the group, always involving **Robert** because I noticed that he has developed several solutions of this kind. Is there a possibility to activate it by pressing a button or by action?  
Thanks to anyone who wants to try to answer me.

Would you like to activate the location component in a different way from the Switch? No, that’s not possible in my opinion.

Do you mean you want to retrieve the user’s location by a button action? I don’t think that would work.

I dunno…it could work if you were to send the API call URL as a webhook action which then (using a service like [Make](https://www.make.com/en/register?pc=robert)) can write the location back to the table—you just wouldn’t use the fetch plugin column (and thus wouldn’t see the reverse lookup live as you type).

All right! Thank you all. Hopefully, an option will be included at some point, perhaps as a programmable action.
