Get Current Location of Device in D365 CE(CRM) using JavaScript

In this blog, we will look at how we can get the current location of the device with the click of a button.  

Implementation

Syntax:

Xrm.Device.getCurrentPosition().then(successCallback, errorCallback)

Code:

var formCustomizations = {
    getLocation: function (executionContext) {
        var formContext = executionContext;
        Xrm.Device.getCurrentPosition().then(
            function success(location) {
formContext.getAttribute("vv_latitude").setValue(location.coords.latitude);
formContext.getAttribute("vv_longitude").setValue(location.coords.longitude);
            },
            function (error) {
                Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog({ text: error.message });
            }
        );
    }
}

• Call the “getLocation” function on button.

• After doing everything successfully when you will click on a button you will get latitude and longitude.
