GEO Codes in a mobile app

Post by devinst »

I am creating a mobile app and am using the "pui.capturePhoto" function to allow picture taking on the mobile device. Is there a similar function that will allow me to grab the current latitude and longitude from the device?
Thanks.!!!

The latitude and longitude are just variables you can retrieve in the display's JavaScript. Not sure why you'd want to upload them to the IFS?

I didn't realize that it would be that simple. I was thinking there would be a function to have the device return them. Can you give me the variable names that I would use to retrieve them? As you said, there is no need to upload them to the IFS, I just want to make the accessible to the RPG program.
Thanks.!!

I believe Scott may have been alluding to the Navigator object available via JavaScript.
