Automagic Forum

Think about when you stay home for 10 hours. Sometime the google location may get position far away from where you are (low accuracy). These behavior will trigger the exit event.

So, If the exit/enter event occur, you can request a new location with high accuracy.
Is it good if you can add in the internal code before fire the event?
And the radius will work very high accuracy too. And we don't need the addition task to check the real distance.

Currently, I tried by myself. The trigger will run twice when google position is invalid or low accuracy.
1. Trigger Location : do exit event when google position is invalid and far away.
2. Action Init Variable Location : request new high accuracy.
3. Trigger Location : do enter event when google position is valid again (from #2).

+1 Me too!

It's really vague how the different location modes work in Automagic; it seems to be using either (power-hungry) GPS or a single "random" nearby radio tower. I loved how Llama would let you scan for "any towers that I might catch at this location" and thereby obtain a very reliable (rough) location for zero power expense.

Please consider going into greater detail about how the "Network" system works -- or better yet, implement a system similar to Llama's and let us determine a location based on any of a given list of towers, and a simple way to build that list.

It's already there in the Phone Cell GSM Condition - you use the Start and Stop buttons to collect the list of cell towers.

Oho! Well ain't I glad I asked. Thanks!

So for location purposes, should I prefer LAC, CID, or both?
