The new location component does seem to update coordinates in real time. Any time I’ve played with it, I’ve filled user specific columns in an app where I’m not signed in…so I’m not entirely sure if it would update the back end database or what kind of hit it would have against the update quota. If it does update the back end, then it could potentially eat up your update quota very quickly. So I guess I would be cautious and try it out on a small sample app first.
