mobileLocationAuthorizationStatus() will tell you if the OS app setting will 
allow location tracking
mobileSensorAvailable("location") will tell you if there is a location sensor
mobileStartTrackingSensor "Location", [true|false] will start the tracking.

mobileSensorReading("location", [true|false]) will return an array of the 
current location. If the latitude or longitude is zero then the GPS is not yet 
locked

Subject: Getting started with geographical coordinates

Hi

I am reviving my LiveCode skills in these troubled times, and I want to do 
something that involves the location of a device using GPS. A very rapid 
(obviously too rapid) search of the documentation finds commands like 
iphoneStartTrackingLocation, but no link to a description of how one reads the 
actual geographical coordinates or what form they take. There is a reference to 
CoreLocation, but that hasn’t got a dictionary entry.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. Sorry if it’s obvious.

Thanks in advance

Graham
