Demo/About/Documentation geolocation API
The geolocation-feature implements the navigator.geolocation API. The following methods are available:
- navigator.getCurrentPosition: successCallback, errorCallback and options ({timeout: number}) are supported
- navigator.watchPosition: in shim identical to getCurrentPosition, except it returns an useless ID
- navigator.clearWatch: is noop in shim
The shim uses the geolocation information provided by http://freegeoip.net and/or googles API-Loader
Options for geolocation
- confirmText (string): confirm text for requesting access to geo data.
$.webshims.setOptions('geolocation', {
confirmText: '{location} wants to know your position. It is Ok to press Ok.'
});
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos){
alert("Thx, you are @ latitude: "+ pos.coords.latitude +"/longitude: " + pos.coords.longitude);
});
