mdg:location ~ Geolocation.currentLocation() returns null even when location is available through browser navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition

[hems]

The first time i install my app the application is getting an onError "TIMEOUT" and don't try to fetch the position anymore.

The side effect is that Geolocation.currentLocation() will be null even after the user has authorized the location service, therefore making the location available through: navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition( my_callback )

You have to call the the currentLocation() inside of a helper or autorun. Check the solomo example on the github page!

Working with meteor react getting the same problem i.e null.

handleMapOptions() { Tracker.autorun(() => { var latLng = Geolocation.currentLocation(); var latLng1 = Geolocation.latLng(); // Initialize the map once we have the latLng. console.log(latLng); console.log(latLng1); });

if (GoogleMaps.loaded()) {
  return {
    center : new google.maps.LatLng(37.779161, -122.435228),
    zoom   : 12,
  };
 }
}

For React you should use the useTracker hook or withTracker HOC.
