navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition doesn't work on android google chrome

Question

This code:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
                    function(position) {
                        alert(position.coords.latitude, positio         


        

Answer 1

THERE IS A WORKAROUND: to watchPosition call, and wrapping this in a 5 second wait before clearing the watchID. Code below;

var options = { enableHighAccuracy: true, maximumAge: 100, timeout: 60000 };
if( navigator.geolocation) {
   var watchID = navigator.geolocation.watchPosition( gotPos, gotErr, options );
   var timeout = setTimeout( function() { navigator.geolocation.clearWatch( watchID ); }, 5000 );
} else {
   gotErr();
}

I haven't played around with the "options" values or the timeout delay at the moment, but the above code brings back accurate positioning info on every platform I've tried.
