Class Geolocation

Classdesc

Helper class for providing HTML5 Geolocation capabilities. The Geolocation API is used to locate a user's position.

To get notified of position changes and errors, register listeners for the generic change event and the error event on your instance of module:ol/Geolocation~Geolocation.

Example:

const geolocation = new Geolocation({
  // take the projection to use from the map's view
  projection: view.getProjection()
});
// listen to changes in position
geolocation.on('change', function(evt) {
  console.log(geolocation.getPosition());
});
// listen to error
geolocation.on('error', function(evt) {
  window.console.log(evt.message);
});
