I've downloaded it.
Thank You
It is still some scary area to use LocationSensor for my coding level. I keep this comment when I'm ready to re-try to fix the problem I posted. sorry for no response to your comment.
Version 5 now has been released
New in Version 5: Itoo integration
Thank you @Kumaraswamy for this amazing framework!
Now we can execute almost any logic in the background (no user interface components) after an location changed event occurred in the background. Please be aware, that there is no user interface available in the background.
This is the new OnLocationChanged event handler, which looks like a procedure.
The event handler will be called from Itoo from the background after a location changed event occurred.
You will have to create the procedure using the name OnLocationChanged.
Also that procedure must have 7 arguments, else it will not work. Note: This background event handler also will be called if the app is in the foreground.
Now we can execute almost any logic in the background (no user interface components) after a location changed event occurred.
Please be aware, that there is no user interface available in the background.
Some example blocks to send location data to a MySQL database in the background

currently not, but it looks like an option to deactivate this would be a good idea... I will add it soon...
