The documentation shows “card.location.mode” along with a “max” distance and (optional L/L and seconds) fields to configure … the “area” field will then show “inside” or “outside” upon “card.location” request. Is there an explicit method to disable geofence mode? (i.e. set “max” to 0) Or should we just not use “card.location” to check the “area” field?

regards, Rich …

Hi richf,

I have been having the same problem for a while. I think I just stumbled across the solution. If I set “max” to -1, that seems to stop the geofence functionality.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,  
Nathan
