Thanks, Lakshmi
As I have determined W3C Geolocation specification hasn't been supported yet. "navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition" throws an error.

You have to set GPS setting to ON, then navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition return location latitude and longitude values.
Thanks a lot. GPS was turned on. Even though at starting of my app a confirm message appears and I'm confirming that the app might use location access, it didn't work. I checked the GPS settings and GPS was not for the app not activated. I think, It should happen automatically. This might be a bug?

i tried the below code on device, its working after enabling GPS in Settings Application. navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onPositionUpdate,errorHandle ) function onPositionUpdate(position) { console.log("inside ------") var lat = position.coords.latitude; var lng = position.coords.longitude; console.log("Current position: " + lat + " " + lng); } On which SDK are you trying ??

Hi, Lakshmi. Did you test on the physical device ? I tried to get the current postion on WebSimulator and Emulator (SDK 2.0), but failed. - On WebSimulator says "getCurrentPosition function was not defined." - On Emulator, onSuccess callback is never called, onError callback is always called. Please check it WebSimulator and Emulator. I have no yet physical device. Thanks.

Hi Adal San, I have tested it on device, to work on emulator you need to inject any temporary lat, long to emulator using Event Injector tool, for more details go through below link https://developer.tizen.org/help/topic/org.tizen.gettingstarted/html/dev_env/providing_location_data.htm?resultof=%22%45%76%65%6e%74%22%20%22%65%76%65%6e%74%22%20%22%49%6e%6a%65%63%74%6f%72%22%20%22%69%6e%6a%65%63%74%6f%72%22%20 On emulator i found that injecting event is not working properly Thanks Lakshmi.

Anybody please tell me whats the problem of the below code for current location whereas it's working on Simulator and any browser but not working on device.

var map;
var myPosition;
var infowindow;

var directionsService;
var directionsDisplay;

window.onload=getLocation;

function getLocation() // get the current location
{
    if (navigator.geolocation)
    {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(initialize, showError);
    }
    else
    {
        alert("Geolocation is not supported by this browser.");
    }
}

function initialize(position)
{
      var pyrmont = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
      
      map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('googleMap'), {
        center: pyrmont,
        zoom: 16,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
      });

}

Hi,

As far as I know, your code can get the location data. I suggest you to check Privilege(http://tizen.org/privilege/location) and enable the Location menu in Setting of device.

 

This link has more descripton about google map in Tizen and has sample code as well.

    https://developer.tizen.org/documentation/articles/google-maps-on-tizen

 

I wish this will help you.

Yes, I've tried with geolocationtizen.zip code many times. But when I press "Acquiring your position" then it shown the popup menu loding and showing "Please wait..." in a long time and no output there.

I've enabled the location settings too.

Hello,

first start gps may take a long time. And it's better to do it in an open area. =)
