Hi and welcome!
What do you mean "location", how do you get this information, and what example are you refering to?
bye,
Jean

hi Jean
i'm trying to access the location data from the handset, ideally the GPS, i've been trying to use the 'getLocationInfo' - after using the 'startLocationServiceUpdate' -
i coded it myself and then also used the provided example (in PlaymakerSamples/testLab/device)
i'm trying to send the data to TextGUI just to debug directly on the device and check that its updating, but on the app finding the location data i get one update and then the data doesn't seem to refresh - or at least the gui doesn't update..
do you need to code a loop into playmaker - or should the action keep udpdating data until told to do otherwise?
thanks a lot
b

Hi,
You will need to update the data manually yes. so for example, every 5 seconds, loop to your state that checks and then you'll get the new position and will be able to show that new position.

Jean
