**Dear Power Thunkar,**

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out regarding an issue I am facing while using the **LocationSensor component** in Thunkable.

### Issue Details:

1. I am unable to see the **LocationSensor1.Latitude** and **LocationSensor1.Longitude** properties in the block editor.
2. Additionally, I do not see events like **when LocationSensor1.GotLocation** or **when LocationSensor1.LocationChanged**.
3. As a result, I am unable to properly store the location data (latitude and longitude) into variables.

### What I have tried:

- I have used the **LocationSensor1.GetCurrentLocation** block to retrieve the location, but I cannot access or store the latitude and longitude after the data is retrieved.
- The **Latitude** and **Longitude** properties do not appear in the “Properties” section or the block editor, preventing me from utilizing location data effectively.

### Request:

- Could you please provide the correct steps to configure and use the **LocationSensor component** to obtain latitude and longitude?
- I would also appreciate it if you could help clarify why the **Latitude** and **Longitude** properties are not appearing in my project.

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue. I look forward to your support.

Best regards,  
mori
