Geolocalisation

[bepolymathe]

Hi @patrickunterwegs !

It's been a long time since I went there but I always use JTX with happiness ;-)
I did not use the location function a lot so far but a change of job forces me to do it. I wanted to try to see if I could have reminders on arrival somewhere (I saw the option at 50m, 100m, etc in connection with the address) ... but that does not seem to work.
Do you use this possibility?
Good day.

Hey @bepolymathe , I haven't tested this for a while, but I also haven't changed anything lately (except for library updates) in this field.
Just to be sure, you are using the version from Google Play, right?

So I have just activated a Geofence and it worked for me. When you activate a Geofence, you need to allow jtx Board to always access your location in the background (this is a prerequisite by the library itself). This can only be set manually in the settings (the system dialog doesn't ask for this permission). Have you checked this?

Hi @patrickunterwegs

Yes, I installed the app through Google Play, and I have permanent geolocation enabled.
Does it make a difference if I enter the geolocation via an address vs. clicking a point on the map? I guess not?

Hm, no, as long as the coordinates are set...
Can you give more details on your phone? And which Android version you're using?
