Class: Geolocation

ol/Geolocation~Geolocation 


import Geolocation from 'ol/Geolocation';

Helper class for providing HTML5 Geolocation capabilities. The Geolocation API is used to locate a user's position.

To get notified of position changes, register a listener for the generic change event on your instance of module:ol/Geolocation~Geolocation.

Example:

var geolocation = new Geolocation({
  // take the projection to use from the map's view
  projection: view.getProjection()
});
// listen to changes in position
geolocation.on('change', function(evt) {
  window.console.log(geolocation.getPosition());
});

new Geolocation(opt_options)

Geolocation.js, line 92
Name Type Description
options

Name Type Description
tracking boolean (defaults to false)

Start Tracking right after instantiation.
trackingOptions PositionOptions

Tracking options. See http://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API/#position_options_interface.
projection module:ol/proj~ProjectionLike

Name Type Description
event Object | module:ol/events/Event~BaseEvent | string

Event object.
Returns:
false if anyone called preventDefault on the event object or if any of the listeners returned false.

get(key){*} inherited

Object.js, line 119

key string

Key name.
Returns:
Value.

getAccuracy(){number|undefined}

Get the accuracy of the position in meters.

Returns:
The accuracy of the position measurement in meters.

getAccuracyGeometry(){module:ol/geom/Polygon~Polygon}
