The GeolocationCoordinates interface represents the position and altitude of the device on Earth, as well as the accuracy with which these properties are calculated.
The geographic position information is provided in terms of World Geodetic System coordinates (WGS84).
Instance properties
The GeolocationCoordinates interface doesn't inherit any properties.
GeolocationCoordinates.latitudeRead only-
Returns a
doublerepresenting the position's latitude in decimal degrees. GeolocationCoordinates.longitudeRead only-
Returns a
doublerepresenting the position's longitude in decimal degrees. GeolocationCoordinates.altitudeRead only-
Returns a
doublerepresenting the position's altitude in meters, relative to nominal sea level. This value can benullif the implementation cannot provide the data. GeolocationCoordinates.accuracyRead only-
Returns a
doublerepresenting the accuracy of thelatitudeandlongitudeproperties, expressed in meters. GeolocationCoordinates.altitudeAccuracyRead only-
Returns a
doublerepresenting the accuracy of thealtitudeexpressed in meters. This value can benullif the implementation cannot provide the data. GeolocationCoordinates.headingRead only-
Returns a
doublerepresenting the direction towards which the device is facing. This value, specified in degrees, indicates how far off from heading true north the device is.0degrees represents true north, and the direction is determined clockwise (which means that east is90degrees and west is270degrees). Ifspeedis0or the device is unable to provideheadinginformation,headingisnull. GeolocationCoordinates.speedRead only-
Returns a
doublerepresenting the velocity of the device in meters per second. This value can benull.
Instance methods
The GeolocationCoordinates interface doesn't inherit any methods.
GeolocationCoordinates.toJSON()-
Returns a JSON representation of the
GeolocationCoordinatesobject and enables serialization withJSON.stringify().
