I am using Call Location\_Sensor1’s GetCurrentLocation to read latitude, longitude and timestamp. Is there a way to know when a new location message has arrived rather than having to execute the Call instruction every second and compare the new data to the previous data to determine if this is a new location?

No, you would have to get the sensor values again and compare them.
