What also makes this not a good use case for Appian is that these kinds of solutions/applications are plentiful out in the market. A great Appian use case would be something that makes your organization unique and/or for which there isn't really anything out in the market. HR systems or Payroll systems or (in this case) taxi cab booking/dispatching/tracking systems are pretty ubiquitous, so why build your own?

In general, the Appian mobile app can submit the location ONLY on submit of a task.

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.4/Configuring_the_User_Input_Task.html#capturing-task-submission-location

You can then display that location to the driver.

I already mentioned how to display a map showing bus locations. That should work for your use case as well.

1.is there any way to get the GPS location to get the current user location,
(OR)

2.once user enter the Address details the Cab owner get the task and he should reach to user location,
3.User should able to track the live location of the cab.

4.Address datails are stored in address tables.

Yeah frankly this doesn't seem like the right use case for Appian. But like Stefan said, we'd need a LOT more information - what is the purpose of your app? What information are you expecting to gather? How do users make decisions in the app?

OK. I need more detail. How do you track your cabs? Where do you store the locations?

Appian has no live tracking capabilities built in.

OK. I did something similar with a public transport company. We had busses which frequently send their current location to a system. Then we used to google maps plugin to put pins on a map, and made Appian refresh the data every 30 seconds.

But, again, depending on what you want to achieve, this might might, or might not work for you.
