geodesy - Is there a Function like Here or FindGeoLocation[] that pulls GPS from an Android device for Wolfram Cloud deployments?
Neither FindGeoLocation[]
nor Here
really work when deploying to the cloud for a mobile or browser app.
CloudDeploy[
APIFunction[{}, {FindGeoLocation[], Here} &], "Where_am_I?"]
Instead of using the device or browser location, these functions use the Wolfram Cloud servers' GeoIP and $GeoLocation
, respectively. Is there a way to get the browser or device GPS location?
Ideally, $GeoLocation
would sync with device GPS so that deployments could still use Here
and support Dynamic[Here]
, maybe?...
I'm aware of this good post: Capturing Data from an Android Phone -- so I could have the application retrieve the GPS field from Data Drop, but that seems like an ugly hack.
Has anyone dealt with this or found a solution? Thanks!
