I need some guidence in finding out how I can fire an alert when my location is located near a specified location.
I guess then would use google map and geolocation but I am not sure.
I would also like to be able to show some code but after doing countless google searches I can't find anything and I don't know what to look for.
I'll be using phonegap / cordova.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction?enter code here
It sounds like you are looking for a geofence plugin like this one: https://github.com/cowbell/cordova-plugin-geofence
This will let you monitor when your device transitions into and out of custom geofences / location zones you set up.
Add this to your project using cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-geofence and follow the usage guide in their readme.
