Currently i am creating an application for the samsung gear s smartwatch. My widget/app needs to get Location data everywhere (it’s a safety application). The basic GPS location works fine as you can see in my code below. The problem is that GPS only works outside, since my app is a safety app i need to get Location data everywhere. On phones you are able to use Wifi and mobile network to get a location. My question is is it possible to get a location using wifi or mobile network on a smartwatch? and if it’s possible how?
function getBestGPSLocation(){
//GPS
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, {maximumAge:60000, timeout:5000});
//Wifi
// I want wifi location here
//Mobile Network
}
function error(error) {
// just some error codes they work either
switch(error.code) {
case error.PERMISSION_DENIED:
console.log("permission denied");
break;
case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:
console.log("your position is unavailable");
break;
case error.TIMEOUT:
console.log("a timeout occured");
break;
case error.UNKNOWN_ERROR:
console.log("an unknow error occured");
break;
}
}
function success(position) {
// this works i get all the data
alert(position);
}
