I’m developing an app, where I need the GPS to provide a route to where the user has been while a variable is active, even if the app is closed or in the background, I saw that on Google it explains how to do this, but how to integrate this into Thunkable, is it possible? If yes, how? ```auto [type or paste code here](https://developers.google.com/location-context/fused-location-provider?hl=pt-br#:~:text=The%20fused%20location%20provider%20is,information%20that%20your%20app%20needs) ``` ---

Hi @wammytech, thanks for reaching out. At current time, background services like GPS are not available in Thunkable built apps. ---
