## 💬 Questions and Help

Thanks for the new updates.

I have a question though, currently when we call "**getCurrentPosition**", only then pop-up is displayed to turn on the GPS(if GPS is off). Is there a way to call the request location service manually rather than directly calling the current position?

Also, the timeout should be for only retrieving user location, not for the complete request process.

**Current Timeout** - Request Location + Request Permssion + Retrieve Location

**Expected Timeout** - Retrieve Location

Please clarify this.

Appreciate your response.

Research direction

Start by tracing the getCurrentPosition entry point and the current request flow for location service, permission, and retrieval. Determine whether a separate manual location-service request is supported and how the timeout is applied; done means the requested API behavior and retrieval-only timeout are clearly defined and verified for the plugin's Android and iOS paths.
