Location Tracker App
The Location Tracker App is a simple and user-friendly application created using MIT App Inventor. It helps users find their current location by displaying the latitude, longitude, and the address along with showing the position on a map.
The app interface is designed using a Table Arrangement containing two labels and two text boxes to neatly display the latitude and longitude values. A Map component is added to visually show the user’s exact position with a marker. The app also uses a Location Sensor, which continuously reads the device’s current GPS coordinates.
Overall, this project introduces students to GPS-based applications and helps them understand how mobile sensors, maps, and app interfaces work together to track and display real-time location information.

There is an Address TextBox where the converted location address (street, city, etc.) is displayed after reverse-geocoding the coordinates. To control the tracking, the app includes two buttons:
Track Location Button – when pressed, the app fetches the latest latitude and longitude using the Location Sensor and updates the map and the address field.
