Getting Started

Creating a Coordinate instance from the browser Geolocation API

import { Coordinate } from 'geolocation-coordinate';
 
 
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {
  let { latitude, longitude } = position.coords;
 
  let latCoord = new Coordinate(latitude, 'latitude');
  let lngCoord = new Coordinate(longitude, 'longitude');
 
  latCoord.degrees; // 59.2349887712
  latCoord.minutes; // 14.09932627200007
  latCoord.seconds; // 5.959576320004203
  latCoord.cardinalCoordinate; // "North"
 
  latCoord.toString('dd'); // "59.235° North"
  latCoord.toString('ddm'); // "59° 14.099' North"
  latCoord.toString('dms'); // "59° 14' 6" North"
});
