With the new Dynamics 365 Mobile client, we got a new API Xrm.Utility.getCurrentPosition which returns the current location coordinates.

This API only works with Mobile Client and referring this in Web Application would cause script error.

Pre-requisite:

We need to Enable User Location setting on the device

• Go to Settings -> Device Integration Settings

Device-integration-settings

• Enable “User Content and Location”

Enable-user-location

Script to get coordinates:

function onload() {
var isCrmForMobile = (Xrm.Page.context.client.getClient() == “Mobile”);

if (isCrmForMobile) {
Xrm.Utility.getCurrentPosition().then
(function (location) {
Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(“Latitude: ” + location.coords.latitude +
“, Longitude: ” + location.coords.longitude);
},
function (error) {
Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);
})
}
}

Get-longitude-and-latitude
