The Geolocation service is a wrapper on top of Cordova Geolocation service. The actual location is returned by your device. If you are testing from a desktop browser, your location might be determined by your IP address (which might be not the location you are physically at).
Two things you can try:
1) Create a brand new app, add the Geolocation service there and display the result
2) Use the Cordova API directly:
pre
var onSuccess = function(position) {
Code: Select all
Apperyio("lat").text(position.coords.latitude);
Apperyio("lng").text(position.coords.longitude); };
function onError(error) {
alert('code: ' + error.code + '\n' +
'message: ' + error.message + '\n');
}
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError);
/pre
this assumes you have two labels named 'lat' and 'lng'.
This is not from a browser. Uploading a video.

Please try the two options I mentioned above to try and figure out this problem.
GPS works fine when I'm not using services and mapping.
But it doesn't answer the question what is wrong.
I also don't know how to update my storage variables and fields on the screen so that the service can get the data.
