Description

I am trying to create a dynamic buffer (30 m) around my GPS location. For that, I have added a point and used Geometry Generator to create a buffer for the style. The expression I used is:

buffer(transform(@position_from_gps,'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'),30)

But I do not see anything on my map.

The project can be found here:

Research direction

Open the linked Mergin Maps project and reproduce the missing buffer using the reported Geometry Generator expression with @position_from_gps. Inspect how the mobile app evaluates the GPS position and transformed geometry; done means the 30 m buffer is visible at the GPS location.
