Can I create an app where people opt in when they are at one location then opt out when they leave?

I want an app where a person can open the app, say "I'm here", there location is pinned on a map, and when they leave that location, they open the app, say "I'm gone" and their pin on the map disappears? Can I use the location map feature of buzztouch to do this? Any help would be extremely appreciated!!

App posts location to database Database updates online JSON file holding location map data Location map when reopened will get new JSON data & display users location User leaves location and updates database But it seems like it would be easier with a web based map accessed via a URL. Fred

It sounds a lot like what I am trying to do, does the location map option on the bt app builder have a way to export the person's location to the JSON file? Thank you!!

No, but Mark also GoNortnWest has a how-to thread. Search the Forum. Fred
