I love these:

Signal Property Description

Location.Altitude Returns a number that indicates the altitude, measured in feet, above sea level.
Location.Latitude Returns a number, from -90 to 90, that indicates the latitude, as measured in degrees from the equator. A positive number indicates a location that's north of the equator.
Location.Longitude Returns a number, from 0 to 180, that indicates the longitude, as measured in degrees west from Greenwich, England.

But, when I use label and include the formula, NOTHING Appeared? why.

For Speed, Compass, ALL are OK.

Please advise. TQ

Hi PK,

What is the version of your PowerApps?

Per my test, it is working in version 2.0.320 when I use label and include the formula.

Best Regards,

Lisa Chen

If I used the Location, and wish to search with Launch(Google Maps), it won't work? is there any specific formula? (However, searching for Address Text is OK, but then it doesn't serve the purpose of using Location)

Are location services enabled on the device you're using? When PowerApps doesn't have access to the GPS hardware, it returns back empty values for Altitude, Longitude and Latitude.

I use it with my Iphone6 cell phone... so i got my GPS HARDWARE ! ;o) ! When you start your app, everything just fine.
You cannot locate it anyway if you doesn't got GPS hardware.

You definitely have the hardware, but is PowerApps granted the permission to read from the hardware? PowerApps requests access to Location Services on iOS and you can double check this in Settings > Privacy > Location Services. PowerApps will have an individual setting which you can change here.
