Hi again Graham Another option is to indicate visually the uncertainty of the location reading on the map display as some apps do, e,g. with a translucent circle whose radius indicates the horizontal (in)accuracy. cheers Alan > On 26 Apr 2020, at 10:17 am, Alan Stenhouse wrote: > > Hi

Hi Graham Some ideas, from experience: 1. Start your sensor on openStack or as soon as possible. 2. Ignore locationChanged messages with empty location or if "horizontal accuracy" is outside a threshold of x metres. 3. Just set a flag or other mechanism when you want to start and stop

The ‘is strictly’ operators allow you to detect what the actual internal storage type of a value is. Some things generate numbers which are stored as int32s but most will store them as doubles - arithmetic operators included. I don’t know what the docs say about ‘is strictly an integer’ but the

In your initial example, they are all strings.  1.1+0 would be strictly a real.  What is troubling is that I’m seeing that 1+200 is not strictly an integer yet the docs say it should be. Thanks, Brian On Apr 25, 2020, 12:06 PM -0400, Mark Wieder via use-livecode , wrote: > On 4/25/20 7:40 AM,

Peter. I am intrigued that you have a particular stack where this (standard) behavior does not happen. Can you change the group script at each instance? Can you change the locs of the controls that comprise it? That sort of thing. Such a stack might be of real interest to the team. Craig
