I would like here that every second, the location sensor updates the position and then allows you to make a loop: if then do ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/4/3453af29ec28f8057450385dc967b08ab2916f99.png) I wish that every second the location sensor captures the point where we are and depending on where we are, this triggers OR not the timer. As soon as we leave this zone the timer must stop. Help me please. Thanks ---
