Send excact location for a certain time

[Xyphes]

Hi!
So I have a macro that sends my location if someone sends me an sms
But I noticed that the position is not really accurate and it only shows the last updated location

I would like to know if there is a way to send my exact location for a certain time like 30min or something

How about this?
You can try:

MacroDroid Setting > Trigger Option > Location Trigger

You can change the interval for checking your location.
The shorter, the more accurate.

You could also add a wait before next action just after location update action. I put location update in a loop as well

I think there's a little problem here, or misunderstanding
As I read it, "Force Location Update" only works with a location trigger

I have tryed different things with a little test macro

I'm setting a var with location and location time stamp, I have set update rate to 5 sec, the log looks like this, notice the time it ran and the time stamp


I don't know when the update occurs, but it seems that it don't work as I expected
Or as mentioned, only works with a location trigger
Am I missing something

I use location update and for me it doesn't need any location trigger. But it does need a block next action until complete option.

Where do you find that? (rember were just laymen )
I can't find that option in Force Location Update

It's not a feature yet you can click on

block next action until complete option

in my post to go to my feature request post.

The action will spend up to 30 seconds to get the best position fix it can and if it can't get a good one it will send the best available. If it can't get a good position fix then can you double check that you have location services set to high accuracy and you have wifi on.
