02.
He is in Solothurn at the weekend and has selected his availability for two whole days

05. Position
You can choose to receive alerts based on your position using the Position feature. Use the toggle to turn this feature on or off.
-
When it's ON, you'll receive alerts based on your proximity to the areas you've selected.
-
When it's OFF, you'll receive alerts for all your chosen areas, regardless of your location.
N.B. Please note if you do NOT select any areas, you will be alerted based on your position for ALL areas. If you select, for example 3 different areas, you will only be alerted based on your position for all 3 of those selected areas.
Practical example
Hans set his Availability for his hometown and an alert is triggered that should notify him, but he also has the Position feature activated and he is on vacation, so he won't receive the alert. This is because his current location is outside the areas that he selected for his Availabilities.
