Construct 2 and GPS Usage Question

hi there,

I was just wondering if anyone knows if C2 can access the GPS / location of a mobile device. Additionally GPS access as an App is another question. Basically can GPS data be accessed by C2? I did some digging around here and didn't see any real conversation about the subject.

I know that mobile browsers can do it (like using google maps through browser) but i'm not sure how practical it is either. For example if when the phone is turned off, would this kill any realtime data collection..

Thanks!

Caleb

Coincidentally, the next build will have a Geolocation plugin. So you'll be able to get GPS data from that! It's got very broad support, including on mobile.

most excellent!

Hi Ashley,

Do you know when the build with the GPS plugin is scheduled to be released?

Thanks

It was added to the Beta version 134 June 12th.
