Before you dive in, we want you to know that although this sample application doesn't ex-
plore all of the features of geolocation, it does show you how simple it is to acquire a user's
position and integrate it with a mapping service. If you're looking to build a more dynamic
mapping app, you'll be glad to know that the Geolocation API can also support features
like:
• Tracking user movement over set time intervals
• Obtaining the user's altitude, heading, and speed
• Limiting GPS use when battery life is a concern
To find out more about these geolocation features, see
appendix B
.
Step 3: Use geolocation to insert a map of the user's location
To implement geolocation in your application, in the app.js file locate the
if
block that
checks whether the command is
createLink
,
insertImage
, or something else. Add
the following code before the last
else
and after the
}
.
