Geolocation watch events are automatically returned when the ON_GEOLOCATION_WATCH callback is registered. Geolocation position events are returned when the ON_GEOLOCATION_POSITION callback is registered, then getCurrentPosition() is invoked.

Remarks

Geolocation is currently BUI-specific and might not be available in all browsers. If geolocation is not available, BBjSysGui::getGeolocation() throws an error.
