How can I get the result of geolocation - geolocation

Question

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition requires three parameters success, fail and options.
What I want to get is the result of position. I have try return the position by success function, but it returns 'undefined'
function success(pos) {
var crd = pos.coords;
console.log('Your current position is:');
console.log('Latitude : ' + crd.latitude);
console.log('Longitude: ' + crd.longitude);
console.log('More or less ' + crd.accuracy + ' meters.');
return pos;
};
pos = navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, options);
console.log('pos', pos);

Answer 1

The getCurrentPosition returns the Position object back in the success handler
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/getCurrentPosition
if you wanted to refer to position later on the only way would be storing it in a global variable and using it later. Just remember the global will not be initialised until after the success callback.
var g_pos;
function error(e){
alert(e);
}
function success(pos) {
var crd = pos.coords;
g_pos = pos; // assign to global
console.log('Your current position is:');
console.log('Latitude : ' + crd.latitude);
console.log('Longitude: ' + crd.longitude);
console.log('More or less ' + crd.accuracy + ' meters.');
return pos;
};
var options = {
enableHighAccuracy: true,
timeout: 5000,
maximumAge: 0
};
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, options);
//hint type g_pos in console after and you can see the position object.
