Description
Returns the estimated vertical accuracy of the current location, in meters.
Declaration
iOSGPSDataObj.VerticalAccuracy
| Read-Only Property | Double |
| iOSGPSDataObj | An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to an iOSGPSData object | |||
Applies To
The property is applied to the following object:
Property Value
The estimated vertical accuracy of the current location, in meters.
Remarks
If the altitude is not determined, the property returns 0.
VerticalAccuracy does not relate to the latitude and longitude values.
Example
The code below retrieves location data from the iOS device's GPS sensor, posts them to the test log and shows the location in Google Maps:
JavaScript, JScript
function PostGPSLocation()
{
Mobile.SetCurrent("iPad");
// Check whether GPS is enabled
if (Mobile.Device().GPS.GPSEnabled)
{
// Obtain location data
var Longt = Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Longitude;
var Lat = Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Latitude;
// Output the location data
Log.Message("The device location is:");
Log.Message("Longitude: "+ aqConvert.VarToStr(Longt));
Log.Message("Latitude: "+ aqConvert.VarToStr(Lat));
Log.Message("Altitude: "+ aqConvert.VarToStr(Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Altitude));
