GPS Live Geo Tracking Plugin

[gyangting]

Hi,

I just bought the GPS Live Geo Tracking Plugin.

I need to:

1. Set a store’s lat and long
2. Check whether a user is located within 50m of that store’s location, when the users comes on the app page, and grant access accordingly.

It looks like it’s really possible to achieve that with this plugin.
I looked at your demo and could not figure out how to do that.

Can you help?

Thanks,
Guy

Hi @gyangting, thanks for reaching out.

Here is how you can use our plugin for your case:

@gyangting

Set a store’s lat and long

You can store the latitude and longitude of the current position by using the “Create a thing” action.
Start with “Get a position” action:

then store the latitude and longitude coordinates by creating a new thing:

@gyangting

Check whether a user is located within 50m of that store’s location, when the users comes on the app page, and grant access accordingly.

To create such a workflow, please use the following:

• check if a user is close enough to a certain point, by using the action “Is in area GPS”
  
  
  
  *and use created custom state provided by this action:
  
  

Hope the provided hints will help.

If there will be any other plugin-related questions that I can help with, drop a message here

Hi, thanks for your reply, but I’m still having a hard time making it work the way I need it to works.
Questions I have:

• The ‘is near me’ is in a text bow in your example, but it should be in a ‘only when’ condition, right?
• I get the position on page load
• I’m trying to use 'Distance to point". It is distance between which 2 points?
• ‘Is in area’ can take distance less than 1km (0,05 = 50m for instance)?

Hi @gyangting, thanks for the provided details and video.

Would it be convenient for you to add our support@zeroqode.com as a collaborator of your app? That will allow us to check what’s wrong with your setup and test it out in our workspace.

Enter your Bubble editor page → Settings → “Collaboration” tab → Invite a user (email).

(Note: disregard the warning message regarding the plan, as we are an agency and you can easily add us to your collaborators.)

I will check your setup and do a few tests in an attempt to find the root cause and help you fix it.
In case it is ok for you, please let me know.

P.S. Please recheck the case when the coordinates indicated in the mobile device simulator are written with dots “.” and not commas “,”

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards,

[gyangting]

Hi @Serg I added support@zeroqode.com in the collaboration tab.
Here’s the link to the page with the test: Trybalcast | Bubble Editor

Also, the coma in the simulator is not an issue as the map app locates properly the simulator

Hi @gyangting, thanks for providing access and details.
The developer team will investigate this case and see what should be done in this regard.

Once any news will become available, I will let you know asap.

Hi @gyangting, thanks for your patience.

We have pushed a plugin update, that has fixed the issue related to incorrect distance value.

To check changes, please upgrade your plugin to the latest version (Version 2.7.0: fixed distance issue) and give it a try.

If there will be anything else that I can help with, drop a message here

Have a nice weekend ahead!

How do I add ai to automate geofencing GPS distance to point coordinates, so that I don’t have to add individual coordinates to EACH different one of my stores?

I want the app to automatically locate my stores when the app user comes within 50m without having to manually input coordinates.

How is this accomplished?

Hi @gatekeeperhelp, thanks for your questions.

@gatekeeperhelp

• The ‘is near me’ is in a text bow in your example, but it should be in a ‘only when’ condition, right?

Yes, it is up to you how to use this custom state value.

@gatekeeperhelp

I’m trying to use 'Distance to point". It is distance between which 2 points?

Between points indicated in “Is in area” action.

@gatekeeperhelp

‘Is in area’ can take distance less than 1km (0,05 = 50m for instance)?

Yes, values can be indicated considering the km format (0,05km = 50m).

I’m afraid that as this use case requires a complex approach, I can’t help much, as it more relates already to customization works, thus being out of my support responsibilities.

As a general direction, please consider my reply at the beginning of this forum thread.

Let me know if there is anything else about default plugin functionality, that I can help with.
