Location Plugin

Plugin that enables an application to access the GPS capabilities of the users device. For example the latitude, longitude and the altitude of the users device.

Key features

• Get the location of the device.

• Setup watches for location updates.

• Clear watches of updates.

How to use this plugin?

Retrieving the current position can be done as a single act by using the action GetLocation. If everything runs without errors, the Location is returned.

It is also possible to keep track of the position, for that, a combination of WatchPosition and LocationTracker should be used. Use the WatchPosition to register a watcher and place LocationTracker anywhere you the webapp in order to register an event handler for OnChangedPosition event. Remember that, if a screen redirect happens and the new screen doesn’t contain LocationTracker, no OnChangedPosition event will be triggered.
