Many mobile devices have the capability of reporting the physical location of the device (e.g. by using an internal GPS sensor).

This component allows access to this information.

This example regularly plots the current location of the device onto a canvas object.

The web app created by this example can be viewed here: GeolocationPlotter Example

- VOID	Return

	GetPosition

- BOOL	Continuous
Set to true to continually monitor the position and receive a callback whenever the location has changed
- BOOL	Return

	Properties
	OnSuccess
Called when position info is successfully found. Latitude, longitude and altitude are provided as parameters. The raw object is also provided for advanced information.
	OnFailure
Called when position info is not returned successfully
	Options
	MaximumAge
Maximum age (in ms) of a possible cached position that is acceptable to return. A value of 0 means the device must always attempt to retrieve to actual current position.
	Timeout
The maximum time (in ms) that the device can take when trying to retrieve a position.
