This is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards the REST API inbound call, but I'm curious to hear what the others think.

Apex callout? Hmm, I don't know about that. Isn't that a bit overkill for a simple GPS coordinate update?

That's a good point, Oren. REST Apex callouts do provide better performance. I'll reconsider my choice.

The REST API inbound call seems like the obvious choice here. Gotta love that secure field-level security!

I disagree, I believe option B is the correct answer as REST Apex callouts are more efficient for interacting with Salesforce.

I think option C is the best choice because REST API calls are commonly used for integrating mobile applications.
