getGeoLocation

Returns the geo location and additional information like speed and altitude if available. Be aware, that this is an asynchronous function and you have to use await.

The Result looks like this:

coords;
accuracy: 33;
altitude: null;
altitudeAccuracy: null;
heading: null;
latitude: 51.073834399999996;
longitude: 6.0768204;
speed: null;
timestamp: 1557477072518;

Example Usages

let myGeoLocation = await app.getGeoLocation();
console.log(myGeoLocation.coords.latitude);
console.log(myGeoLocation.coords.longitude);

To Visualize a geo location in google maps, see this documentation(http://www.joerg-buchwitz.de/temp/googlemapssyntax.htm) for possible url parameters, You could use the following commands in an event:

let myLocation = await app.getGeoLocation();
window.open(
  "http://maps.google.de/maps?q=" +
    myLocation.coords.latitude +
    "," +
    myLocation.coords.longitude,
  "_blank"
);

Return Values

The getGeoLocation function returns the current geographical location (latitude and longitude) asynchronously. It (internally) utilizes the getCurrentPosition function to retrieve the current position. It returns a Promise that resolves to the current geographic location (latitude and longitude).
