The get_location_info function gets location information from a third party API. This function supports both HTTP and HTTPS modes.

A database job MOBILESCAN_LOCATION_INFO triggers the get_location_info function at specified intervals to query data from the external services that provide the location information. You can set the frequency using the DBA setting MS_LOC_SVC_FREQ. Item Info screen uses the information that is fetched by get_location_info function to navigate/direct the user to a material location.

The DBA setting MS_GPS_ACCURACY lets you define accuracy for GPS location comparison in meters. If the difference between the GPS location provided by the external vendor and the GPS location available in the MobileScan database, is greater than the accuracy level defined in the MS_GPS_ACCURACY DBA settng, then MobileScan application updates the GPS information in the database.
