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

Sets a variable and enables a location logging macro when GPS is turned on.

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.
