Use Maps Free or another locator with Mobile Tracker
Question
Application Type
Mobile
Service Studio Version
11.54.48 (Build 63169)

We're developing a story in a Health and Well-being project for our final course in Computer Engineering.

This story consists of the user being able to record (traking) walking, running, etc....

After some research here, we discovered that GoogleMapsMobileCustom had a Maps component, and to use GoogleMaps, we would need an APIKey (we stopped because it was paid, and as an academic project, we have no budget).

So we found out here:

https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/82277/is-possible-for-getting-the-current-location-using-free-google-api-id/

with Daniel, that it's possible with LocationPlugin.

We already have the current location.

Our question is, is it possible to collect the various locations and then create a route?


Because the idea of the story is for the user to be able to record the start and end of the tracking.

Hi,
So Basically, do you want to use 2 Lat Long values to be used in the Map to show start location and end location for tracking route?

@Aravind Mani  Thanks for replying.

That's what we're thinking.

But it may be that other values are needed to achieve this goal.

But we were imagining using two buttons (Start, Stop) with the respective logics.




But when we click on the buttons, the app stops. We're using GPSTracking_Plugin to implement position saving (but that approach didn't work).
