Symptom
Current position not updated in real time while in the Visits OWL Map view.
Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer Core Applications
Reproducing the Issue
- Access the C4C extended app on a tablet device (for example, iOS).
- Open the Visits OWL view and switch to the map view.
- Enable the current position.
- Select the option “Current position."
- Observe that the map determines the current position.
- Move to a different location and observe that the map does not update the current position in real time.
Cause
The application is designed without continuous location tracking; it updates location only when manually requested. Automatic/live location updates are not supported by design.
Resolution
- Use the Current Location button (located above the Settings icon) to manually fetch and display the latest device location.
- Note that automatic/live location updates are not supported; manual refresh is required by design to avoid performance impact.
- No defect is involved; the behavior is expected based on the current implementation.
