I am tring to locate a device using the embedded GPS (like whats app share location). I\'ve read that it is possible with enableHighAccuracy: true.

How

Answer 1

Here's a simple example of enableHighAccuracy: true taken from the Mozilla Developer Network.

var options = {
  enableHighAccuracy: true,
  timeout: 5000,
  maximumAge: 0
};

function success(pos) {
  var crd = pos.coords;

  console.log('Your current position is:');
  console.log(`Latitude : ${crd.latitude}`);
  console.log(`Longitude: ${crd.longitude}`);
  console.log(`More or less ${crd.accuracy} meters.`);
}

function error(err) {
  console.warn(`ERROR(${err.code}): ${err.message}`);
}

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, options);
