You can generate the Sample application when using the Mobile SDK.

It includes a "geo-tracking" action which shows how you can use the Apache Cordova geolocation plug-in that is included out of the box.

There appears to be a number of different NFC plug-ins for Apache Cordova available. One of them may fit your needs.

There's instructions for adding additional Cordova plug-ins.

Thanks for your reply Matt, could you point me in the right direction for the code examples? I'm using a freelance developer but he's had to have some time off recently so I'm trying to fill some gaps until he's back.

Many thanks

Brian.

Hi Brian,

I've moved this question to Mobile Developers space to make sure it gets the attention of the right folks.

In theory, yes, with the Mobile SDK you can access native device sensors and data. You could easily add that data to Sugar records. In fact, some of the code examples with the Mobile SDK demonstrate this.
