Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I am trying to implement this scenario :-

1) User access power app inside their mobile (IOS or android). this can be done with or without internet access

2) Click on send my location.

3) Once there is internet access >> the power app will send the location to SharePoint list.

So can we achieve this using power Apps? specifically the ability to get the current location even without internet access? and save it offline to be sent to SharePoint once there is an internet?

Thanks

I believe this is possible but haven't implemented exact scenario.

Please explore following functions in the Power Apps:

a. Connection: This object will provide you whether you are connected to network or not.

b. Location: This object will provide you Longitude and Latitude values.

c. SaveData: To store the information in the mobile device temporarily when it is not connected to network.

d. LoadData: To reload the data from mobile's memory.

With above 4 functions/objects, you can achieve the usecase.

For reference:

Perform a Proof of Concept to understand them.
