Hello, I would like my application to be able to change the label at any time by displaying the lattitude and longitude. However, I can’t do it. How to do ? Here the location sensor can only enter a loop and not be the source like a button. ---

Hello, first of all I want to thank you. However, I have the impression that the position is only displayed when the screen opens. Then it doesn’t update … I wish it could update every second but it doesn’t work. I don’t understand. ---

Sorry, I think it didn’t work as I was indoors to test it. Outdoors it works quite well. ---

Please do not update every second, if you use a mobile phone with a lower system version, it is easy to crash ---

Hey! Does this work. As @tony.ycy.program says updating every second could cause your app to crash So this should not crash. If it does set the 0.66 to a higher number. ![locsensor](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/2/f2acf6365166a9d657c9c616493ae6a4b62611bc.png) You also may want to move the wait 0.66 seconds above the call location\_sensor\_1] instead of inside it. ---
