Can you auto select a location based on GPS coordinates?

I am a mobile service buisness.  I have to charge sales tax when I am in the city and no tax when I am out of the city.  I go in and out of the city several times during the day.  Is there a way that Square can read my GPS coordinates and tell whether I am inside a city limits or out.  I could upload a list of kmz file or similar file that could describe the city limits?  Any suggestions?

 

Here is the region/city limits that I need to add tax and not add tax outside.

Hi Clay. 

 

While it would be a super helpful feature, there isn't a way for the Square Point of Sale app to be set up to recognize your location and adjust tax rates automatically. 

 

Work-arounds that come to mind would be to either manually turn the tax on/off in-app depending on where you're accepting payments, or create two sets of items, one set for when you're located within the city which includes tax, and the other set for sales outside of the city without tax.
