Hello, every time I change the location provider to anything, it always change back to "Default." Bug?

For example,
1. Put a Location trigger.
2. Click "Pick Location" and enter my address.
3. Click the 3 dots on the top-right and select Location Providers.
4. Select High Accuracy and click Save.
5. Click Save again on top.

I went back in to check Location Provider and it changes back to Default. What???????

P.S. I'm using the evaluation version if it makes any difference.

Hi,

The location provider selection on the map does not change the value chosen in the trigger. The one on the map sole purpose is to see the current location of each provider on the map.
Within the trigger you have to select 'Classic' or 'Modern' to switch the way the location is determined (modern uses Google Play services). It's a limitation of the APIs provided by Google that the location provider can not be selected more precisely in this trigger. You could use trigger Periodic Location Update to select the provider of your choice but I usually recommend to use trigger Location to see if the Geofence features provided by Google work for you since the battery consumption should be lower.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the clarification.
