Haiku Proximity reliability

[jharrell]

Just started using proximity in Haiku. Love the feature, however I had it "miss" today coming home and not set my home flag and still hasn't.

So I am wondering how reliable it is? Is it expected to miss once in a while? I know much of this is in Apples hands based on how they call your code to trigger this.

One thing that would be nice that should be under your control too would be once Haiku is up and running it could poll location every so often and update the flag, so that if it does miss I can launch Haiku and get things synchronized again. This would help initially setting up proximity too as it won't set your flag on until you leave the area and come back even though you have Haiku up and running within the proximity zone.

it has improved but i am 30/70 on it working. when it misses, it usually gets turned on when i am home but it is too late for the triggers i want to run. a great idea and i would have to say my problem is probably related to my cell reception. i play with the perimeter area and reset it as well. that usually improves it even if i leave the area the same. drive slower when you get inside your area. ^_^

The next update should improve it further.
