📍 Web Geolocator – JavaScript Documentation

This component provides real-time geolocation functionality for OutSystems Reactive and Traditional Web applications using pure JavaScript. Unlike the built-in mobile-only geolocation plugin, this solution allows web apps to access the user's current location (latitude and longitude) directly through the browser's Geolocation API.

🔧 Features:

• Real-time position tracking

• Latitude and longitude retrieval

• Compatible with all major modern browsers

• Lightweight and easy to integrate

• Includes error handling (e.g., permission denied, timeout)

🚀 How It Works:

The component uses navigator.geolocation.watchPosition() to track the user's position in real time. Each time the position changes, the updated coordinates are passed to the OutSystems client action via a JavaScript-to-OutSystems event bridge.

✅ Use Cases:

• Real-time user tracking on a map

• Location-based filtering or content display

• Delivery tracking dashboards

• Geo-tagging actions within web forms

No mobile plugin required. Fully web-native.
