Can I use Javascript to get the compass heading for iOS and Android?

Question

Can I use Javascript in a cross-platform way to get the compass heading in iOS and Android (with Chrome), without using something like PhoneGap? I know iOS has DeviceOrienta

Answer 1

I believe you can use the "heading" field of the location object, from navigator.geolocation, please see here:

I know no other way.

Hope it helps, A.
