Hello Cormac,

Unity has a [LocationService](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/LocationService.html) that you can call to get the device coordinates. You can adjust the parameters of accuracy and distance by referring to Unity’s docs [here](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/LocationService.Start.html). You could also look at [this community post](https://community.nianticspatial.com/t/initializing-lightship-map-with-runtime-custom-coordinates/3899) that discusses how to initialize maps with the device’s GPS coordinates at runtime.
