Lat/Long on Laptop/Tablet

[ericonline]

Hello, 

Ran into a snag with using Location.Latitude / .Longitude. 

• When on WiFi only, the Lat/Long represent my true location
• When connected to company VPN, the Lat/Long represent the location of company VPN

Is there a way to point PowerApps to a "hardware" GPS signal rather than a "web" signal?

On the iPhone, I have no issue (because powerapps isn't running in the browser, but rather native). 

Any ideas? 

Thanks

Hi @ericonline,

Have you turned on the location under your Device:

Settings  > Privacy > Location

More information, see:

Windows 10 location service and Privacy

Michael

Hi @v-micsh-msft,

Sorry for the late reply.

I'm not using Windows in all cases.

Right now for example, I'm on Linux tethered to a cellular hotspot.

I'm physically residing at Lat: 47.54 Long: -122.38, but PowerApps is showing me at Lat: 37.09 Long: -95.71. How can I tell PowerApps to look at my GPS rather than get Lat/Long info from my network connection?

Thank you

Weird... after posting this...literally 3 minutes later. The Location.Lat/.Long in PowerApps changed to 47.54, -122.38 respectively.

Any ideas why the location would swing so wildly?
