Description

The PositionError object is returned to the user through the geolocationError callback function when an error occurs with geolocation.

PositionError.PERMISSION_DENIED

Returned when the user does not allow your application to retrieve position information. This is dependent on the platform.

PositionError.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE

Returned when the device was unable to retrieve a position. In general this means the device has no network connectivity and/or cannot get a satellite fix.

PositionError.TIMEOUT

Returned when the device was unable to retrieve a position within the time specified in the geolocationOptions' timeout property. When using in conjunction with geolocation.watchPosition, this error could be called into the geolocationError callback every timeout milliseconds.
