Locate API: What's Included
In this article
Access the location coordinates of your device
Supported in:
You can access the location coordinates of the device through a JavaScript API call. App settings allow you define when location checks occur, which can affect the amount of power your kiosk uses.
Location coordinates are requested from the iOS operating system. Depending available services, iOS Location Services uses a combination of cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth signals to determine your location. If using a device equipped with GPS, specifically iPads with a cellular data plan and iPhones, these signals will also be used, providing more accurate location data.
