Adjusting the geolocation sensor update interval
Through the use of the getCurrentPosition method, we can retrieve a single reference to the device location using GPS coordinates. In this recipe, we'll create the functionality to obtain the current location based on a numeric interval to receive constantly updated information.
How to do it…
We are able to pass through an optional parameter containing various arguments to set up interval and improve accuracy:
- First, create a new PhoneGap project named
geoupdateby running the following command:phonegap create geoupdate com.myapp.geoupdate geoupdate - Add the device platform. You can choose to use Android, iOS, or both:
cordova platform add ios cordova platform add android
- Add the
geolocationplugin by running the following command:phonegap plugin add org.apache.cordova.geolocation - Open
