Locate events are essentially GPS location events, dependent on your device's sensors for accuracy (WiFI only, cell tower + GPS chip, etc).
Since running the GPS location service will affect battery life in most cases, it must be manually started and configured after the scene is loaded by sending messages to the internal #pdparty receiver:
#pdparty locate value: location service run control
value: boolean to start/stop the location service
#pdparty locate accuracy type: set desired accuracy, this setting impacts battery life
type: desired accuracy as one of the following strings:
navigation: highest possible accuracy using additional sensors at all times, intended to be used only while the device is plugged in
best: highest accuracy on battery (default)
10m: accurate to within 10 meters
100m: accurate to within 100 meters
1km: accurate to the nearest kilometer
3km: accurate to the nearest 3 kilometers
#pdparty locate filter distance: set the distance filter for locate events
distance: the minimum distance in meters of horizontal movement required before a locate event is generated (default 0), a value of 0 indicates no filtering, negative values are clipped to 0
It usually takes a few seconds to fix your position after enabling the location services.
Note: Locate events are only available in PdParty & Patch scene types. Events work best on devices with multiple location sensors (phone) and may not work on some devices at all.
