Include interaction with Google Maps

Post by Paulo Leite » 07 May 2013 14:51

Hi there !! :)

I want to create a flow to launch google maps when I click a shortcut, and this is easy..

But then I want to long touch the screen in some location on the map and set a variable with that touched location value (latitude and longitude), so I can show a confirmation dialog to the user (to confirm the desired location) and close google maps to return to the flow..

How can I set the variable value with the location I just selected ??

Thanks !!

Hi Paulo Leite,

to set up a virtual (GPS-)location you have to use something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... xa.fakegps.

If you use this FAKEGPS you're also able to read the lan/lon from this 'gps' with your flow.

ATTENTION:
You've to disable the (internal) GPS if you use the FAKEGPS !

kind regards

(let us know about your (test-) results)
