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.!!!

Re: GEO Codes in a mobile app
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?

Re: GEO Codes in a mobile app
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.!!
Thanks.!!

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