Trigger: GPS Enabled/Disabled

The GPS Enabled/Disabled trigger fires when the GPS-based location service is turned on or off on the device. This allows you to automate actions based on changes to the device's GPS/location provider state.

Options

• GPS Enabled: Trigger fires when GPS/location services are turned ON
• GPS Disabled: Trigger fires when GPS/location services are turned OFF

Examples

Example 1: Notification When GPS Disabled

Triggers

GPS Disabled

Actions

Popup Message - GPS has been disabled

Shows a popup notification when GPS is turned off.

Example 2: Start Location Logging When GPS Enabled

Triggers

GPS Enabled

Actions

Set Variable - gps_enabled = true
Enable Macro - Location Logger

Notes

• This trigger monitors the PROVIDERS_CHANGED_ACTION broadcast from the Android LocationManager.
• It responds to changes in the GPS provider state, not the overall location services setting.
• The trigger fires on state changes, not the current state. Use a GPS constraint if you need to check the current GPS state.
