Silly me.
Finally read the tutorial on the livecode site..
http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4069/l/30379-how-do-i-get-the-location-and-use-the-digital-compass
One needs to start the tracking sensor (mobileStartTrackingSensor)
before readings are available.
Makes sense and now working.

I use this every day and it works. On iOS I enable "Location Services" in
the standalone settings. I DON'T enable GPS. This is because there is an
outstanding bug where if the device does not have a GPS (like an iPad 2)
mobileSensorReading does not work with "GPS" ticked. On Android I enable
both "Course" and "Fine" location.

Hmm. I've just tried the following function by Ralph DiMola and no luck.
function GetGpsCords
local tGPS
if not mobileSensorAvailable("location") then return empty
put mobileSensorReading("location", true) into tGPS
if tGPS["latitude"] is not empty and tGPS["longitude"] <> 0 then
wait .25 seconds
put mobileSensorReading("location", true) into tGPS
end if
if tGPS["latitude"] is not empty and tGPS["longitude"] <> 0 then
return tGPS
else
answer "GPS is not enabled or your GPS can't determine your
location." & cr & "If your GPS was just enabled, please try again in a few
minutes." with "OK" titled "Proximity Search"
return empty
end if
end GetGpsCords
On iOS for the LC standalone settings I have ticked Location Services, GPS &
WiFi in the Requirements and Restrictions section and
mobileLocationAuthorizationStatus() returns 'notDetermined' on the test
iPhone 5. The test app doesn't appear under the listed apps in Settings
-> Privacy -> Location Services, so how this work?
On the Android test device, Location is enabled under settings and I have
Fine and Coarse Location enabled in the LC standalone settings.
Using LC 7.0.5 with a iPhone 5 and Nexus 7. All up to date.

My first stumbling block with it was that I didn't realize the data
was returned in an array. Once I saw that I was able to easily parse
the data and begin using it.

Hi
I recently tested mobileCurrentLocation() for both Android & iOS on
LC
7.0.5 and can't seem to get it working.
Is there a good guide somewhere?
The dictionary is definitely lacking in this area.

That's what I find most frustrating about reading this list. We
have an x-plat dev environment, so I keep hoping to see mergExt
eventually go x-plat too. After all, there's a lot of android
devices out there these days.
Last time I used it mobileCurrentLocation is working on Android.
Does it not work in iOS?
