LatLong Value Validity

[Buglouse]

What expression would validate latlong as not having a value?
isblank(), <>“0”, <>“0.000000, 0.000000” seem to not evaluate as true when compared with here() with gps off.

Are you able to set it as “Required” and no validation is needed?

[Buglouse]

Required is enabled, value is 0.0, 0.0 when gps is off and passes the requirement validation.
I want the form to not save when gps is off, or 0.0, 0.0.

So you want to require the column value be blank when GPS is off?

Make a calculation with the DISTANCE(). Distance needs to be more than 1km for example.

Table of customers, which not all have gelocation, do I need to save the location and compare that with HERE() via DISTANCE()? That sounds like a nice check, to have the location data and compare via distance, but for now all I desire is that HERE() is not 0.0,0.0? Without another data to compare, what use is distance, or am I comparing with DISTANCE(0,0)<>HERE()? What about LAT(HERE())>0?

Had same problem. Found this thread. Good tip on using distance! I sure know I want to be a long way from 0 so I went with:

DISTANCE(
LATLONG(“0.000000”, “0.000000”),
HERE()
)>10

Hello,

I had the same problem, here is what I did, in my example, the "CLIENT GPS" column appears only if GPS is off on the phone with an error message.

This does not work if the column is hidden.
