I have a problem to get the location of my PWA's users. The location that is being taken are repeated and is not being updated.
$("#storeLocation").click(function () {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
function (e) {
a = e.coords.latitude + "," + e.coords.longitude;
// HERE I STORE THE COORDS IN MY DATABASE
},
{ enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: Infinity, maximumAge: 0 }
);
});
The button is working because I could see that when I click on it is storing the location, but is storing always the same location.
If you want to continually monitor the user's location, use the Geolocation API method, watchPosition()
. It works in the same way, except it will fire multiple times as the location of the user changes, or gets more accurate.
$("#storeLocation").click(() => {
const posOpts = { enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: Infinity, maximumAge: 0 };
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition((e) => {
const position = a = e.coords.latitude + "," + e.coords.longitude;
// Store position here
}, posOpts);
});
