In this Ionic 5/4 tutorial, we’ll learn how to make a user enable the Geolocation service without leaving or minimizing the application. We’ll use a Native plugin to open a dialog from which a user can tap to switch on the Geolocation service.
In Ionic Application which is using Geolocation get device location coordinates like latitude and longitude may need more accuracy. Device Geolocation service can location coordinates using the network, WiFi Bluetooth but for more accurate location device GPS option must be turned on, which can provide Location accuracy up to 10m which proves quite good for real-time and delivery applications.
In this post, we will discuss How to Turn on Device GPS option from Ionic Application itself, so that the user does not need to leave application. We will use Cordova and Ionic Native plugin, which will prompt the user to turn on GPS.
