Dears,
I would like to know if the statement navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition it is running in mobione.
I’m trying to use the howto for google map and I modified the assignment to the variable latlng.
If I comment the statement
//var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(56.481975, -2.956910);
and I use mine
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
I see the alert shown tn the error function with the text [objet PositionError]

If I use the static geolocation new google.maps.LatLng(56.481975, -2.956910) it is shown with the alert just below the statement.

Why?

PS: my iphone asked for the first run the permission to use my position but shows a white screen

Thanks a lot.

the custom script is here:

phoneui.documentReadyHandler = function() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(DisplayMap, error);
} else {
alert(‘not supported’);
}

}
function error(msg) {
alert(‘Errore: ‘ + msg)

// console.log(arguments);
}

function DisplayMap(){
//The lat and long you want to show on the map//
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(56.481975, -2.956910);
//var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude); // error function where uncomment
alert(latlng); // this run if is commented the above statement

//Map Options//
var myOptions = {

//Zoom – how close to the destination//
zoom: 15,

//Your center point//
center: latlng,

//Show default controls or not, best not to on phones as ot takes up a lot of room//
disableDefaultUI: true,

//Street view controls//
streetViewControl: false,

//Map Type//
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP

};

//COPYRIGHT WHITE SPACE FIX, needs to point the map element, the same as the onebelow//
document.getElementById(‘m1-map-map’).style.lineHeight = ‘1’;

//Create a new map and assign it to our map panel. You will notice the screen namestarts with m1-name, you must use the m1-//
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(“m1-map-map”),
myOptions);

//Create a point for our map marker//
var point = latlng;//new GLatLng(56.481975, -2.956910);

//Create a new marker with a title//
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
title:”Caird!”
});

//Create the marker on the map//
marker.setMap(map);

}​

There is a newer version (V3) of the google maps api in use now. In MobiOne 2.1 the Design Center now provides a map widget. In 2.2 we introduced an api which I am documenting (atm sort of when not doing support) that will provide you access to the google map api. Also we will be updating all examples asap.
