Location/Maps: get current location as x y

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I’m wanting to get the x y position of the ‘pin’ showing the current location of the device.

Is there any way to do this? [import]uid: 31718 topic_id: 6716 reply_id: 306716[/import]

I’m no expert, but you should definitely check out http://developer.anscamobile.com/partner/mapview
and button2 on the mapView Sample App code. That’s pretty much all of the help on that topic that ansca provides.

By the way, by x y position, do you mean the latitude and longitude? I think technically the x and y position within your mapview is always going to be the center of the map.

I’ve certainly had trouble getting it to find the current location the first time I call it. It only works for me if I call it, then go to another screen and come back. When I come back it executes. [import]uid: 12578 topic_id: 6716 reply_id: 24513[/import]
