I m trying to make an android app which count the distance traveled from
log,lan values with phonegap.But phonegap GPS work only when internet or wifi in
ON condition.How can get log ,lan values without internet by using
geolocation api.Thanks in advance .
See the PhoneGap API Docs for Geolocation under the geoLocationOptions:
Android Quirks
The Android 2.x simulators will not return a geolocation result unless the enableHighAccuracy option is set to true.
{ enableHighAccuracy: true }
Enabling that option will allow the Android device to get the location even with the WIFI option disabled.

When you open a webpage on a phone/tablet, and use
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition()
Do we get the same results that when we use Google Play services location API?
And do we get the same results that when we use iOS native location API?
Thank you!
It is really depends to what level of information is available in both OS.
For example, if both GPS chip is working in both Android and iOS and locked to the right numbers of satellite, then you should get the same results.
However, when GPS is not available, each API uses their own way such as wifi, cell tower ID or IP address to estimate the location, then you will find some discrepancy.

I'm trying to find out whether it's possible to get the current location of a Windows 10 device if it's not connected to the internet via Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi) is disabled . I'm aiming this at Windows 10tablets and I don't think they all support GPS. Does anyone know what would be the best way to go about this? Or is it possible at all?
when i use Geoposition pos = await geolocator.GetGeopositionAsync();
it returns Exception .
i need to get the current location of device and for that i used the GPS mode in blackberry and i succeeded to get but the GPS work outdoor under sky not under roof so maybe is there another way or another method to get the location indoor.
i tried with this sample code :

and also same result cant get location indoor its return nothing
wish is there any help and thnx for answer
Read again that link. It explains how to use Geolocation API, which is available starting from OS 5.0. The locations are obtained based on Cell info (OS 5.0) and also from Wi-Fi access points (OS 6.0).
UPDATE
Read this tutorial on how to use geolocation.
hi all i am working on Application which is bashed on Event according to current location .when my application start i am displaying Event in my ListField according to current location. Application works fine in Simulator after sending Latitude & Longitude manually from simulator.
When i test this app in my device BB storm2 9550, device cant get current location within 3 or 4 second (during Splash screen) . but after some time it get current location successfully .
how can i get my current location as fast as iphone an Android ?
is there any way to get current lat long from device GPS system which we are getting on Refresh GPS .
please suggest me if any one have any idea.
Thanks in Adavance !!!
if you are not getting lat/long quickly then it sounds like you are trying to get the locations using the GPS radio. This would mean it will take time to connect to the satellites . this would also require sky in sight of the phone, ie it will not work indoors.
The quickest way to get lat/longs are
Use cellsite technology( Blackberry supports this in some devices using triangulation)
Use a cellid provider like google location api or opencellid to get the lat/long using the current cell id.
These doesnt drain the battery as much as using the GPS radio so if you can , try using these. Although the lat/long are not accurate as GPS radio lat/longs.
Please check the following for all the info you would ever need for blackberry GPS techniques.

At a hardware level, BlackBerry devices used to mount Qualcomm's gpsOne chipset, which, in my opinion, is slower than the ones you could find in most recent Android or Apple devices (SiRFstar or Broadcom, etc). Or maybe the BlackBerry OS didn't interface with it in an efficient manner. For whatever reason, I've experienced higher TTFFs in BlackBerry devices than in Android, for a given place. I may be wrong here, it is just an opinion.
I think newer BlacBerries are mounting other chipsets now. And also, as of September 2011, WiFi geolocation service is also available in OS 6.0 and later. Before that, the only location service in BB was A-GPS and celltower (only OS 5.0 onwards).

I want to make sure FireFox is using my local GPS on my machine (Dell Mini-10) for Location Aware browsing, not Google wi-fi triangulation services.
How would one make sure FireFox is using the GPS? To use GPS a driver or browser plugin (Loki?) I assume is needed to talk locally with Firefox and local hardware. Firefox config would need to be modified to point to a local URI?
1) type about:config in FireFox address line, 2) filter by "geo" and you will see:
List item
geo.enabled;true
geo.wifi.uri;https://www.google.com/loc/json
The "will it work" test would be working FireFox offline, and having a good GPS signal in the middle of nowhere (no wi-fi, radio turn off), Firefox should be able to report your GPS location.
How to?
Currently Firefox only uses the Google geolocation service to translate WiFi IDs and IP addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates, it doesn't support attached GPS.
It might be that Firefox will one day support multiple location providers including your own GPS or, since Firefox is open source, you could even write that code yourself. Also, the Location Platform on Windows 7 provides support for external GPS, so it may be that Internet Explorer or Firefox will one day use that Location Platform for W3C Geolocation requests. But neither can be configured to use your GPS today.
