Current Location

Current location will request from the mobile device your current geo-location, which can be utilized to center the map, or request data through a BI Query. Combining current location with reverse geocoding can provide additional location metadata like state, city, and even zipcode, should you require this information to request assets, regions, and other information nearby. To use Current Location property, bind the property to a single cell. The resulting data will be “latitude,longitude”.

Note, that your end users will need to accept the app using current location, to properly obtain the current geo-location.
