•More information about using the Geolocation API can be found at the following link from W3C.

•In case of questions whether the information that WebOffice 10.9 R3 displays is correct, it is recommended to compare it with a website that is based on the same technology and accesses the same information - i.e. any Geolocation API website, e.g. https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp or https://browserleaks.com/geo

•Normally, a web application like WebOffice 10.9 R3 cannot access information from a GPS sensor like native apps.

•Be aware that the Geolocation tool can only be used if the WebOffice project URL is accessed via HTTPS. The Geolocation tool is denied for HTTP connections.

•Make sure that all map services included in the map collection are configured via HTTPS URL. Otherwise (using mixed content), the browser may refuse to determine the location in WebOffice 10.9 R3.

Geographic Transformation Code/String

Geographic transformation code. Codes are listed in <ArcGIS_Desktop_Installation_Folder>\Documentation\geographic_transformations.pdf or you may use the VertiGIS Projection Helper

Show initial Position

Shows the current user location as center of the initial map (true) or not (false). Note that if chosen true, the initial extent setting from the project configuration setting will be overruled.

Initial Scale

Scale for the map if the tool should zoom to the user location initially.

Maximum delay for initial query?

Maximum delay (in milliseconds) for the initial location query. If the answer is not received in this time the project starts with the default extent of the project configuration.

Show Marker?

Defines if a marker should show the initial position or if the initial extent is displayed (if configured) without showing a marker symbol.

Precision Treshold

If the precision [m] of the current position is worse (greater then) the configured threshold then the map center will not get repositioned to the geolocation coordinates. The user will get a notification that the geolocation can not be displayed due to inadequate precision instead.

Show Accuracy Circle?

Defines if the geolocation accuracy should get displayed as circle. Display as a circle is not useful for geographic projection systems and for maps in map units other than meters.

Write Accuracy?

Defines if the geolocation accuracy should get written on the map at the current location.

Update interval

Defines the interval (in seconds) the location is updated if the tool is in tracking mode. If 0 is configured, the tracking mode will be deactivated.

Cache position (mobile Client)?

Specifies if the last valid position is cached and used, if the next position queries provide an invalid or inaccurate position information (mobile client only).

Required Position Accuracy [m]?

Specifies a required accuracy for the position.  The client queries for a position, until this configured accuracy limit is met, or the maximum wait time is exceeded. The default value of 0m means no polling, the first received position is used.

Maximum Wait Time [s]?

Specifies a maximum wait tome to achieve the required position accuracy.

Use tool?

Specify whether this Tool is available in the WebOffice client (true) or not (false).

HTML client disabled?

Specifies whether the tool is disabled (true) in the WebOffice html client or not (No).

CORE client disabled?

Specifies whether the tool is disabled (true) in the WebOffice core client or not (false).

FLEX client disabled?

Specifies whether the tool is disabled (true) in the WebOffice flex client or not (false).

Projection ID/String

Provide EPSG code if available. Provide projection parameters otherwise (copy and paste from the .prj file recommended).

Name

Projection name

Geographic Transformation Code/String

Geographic transformation code. Can be reviewed in ArcGIS_Desktop_Installation_Folder\Documentation\geographic_transformations.pdf. If a custom transformation is used, the transformation string with parameters can be used. Copy and paste from the .gtf file is recommended.

Result precision

Specifies how many digits after the comma should be used for display of double values.

Output format

Define output format for coordinates

-decimal output as double. The number of decimal places is determined by the Result precision.

-degree output in degrees (DD°MM'SS.NN''). The number of decimal places for the seconds is determined by the Result precision.

-degree_decimal_minutes output in degrees and minutes but without seconds (DD°MM.NN'). The number of decimal places for the minutes is determined by the Result precision. (Hint: a higher number of decimal places than in format degree is required to achieve a comparable precision.)

<latitude longitude> in clipboard?

Specifies whether the coordinates get formatted <latitude longitude> (Yes) or <longitude latitude> (No) in the clipboard. Only affects geographic coordinate systems (e.g. WGS84).

Projection category

Group category for projection lists displayed for the following tools: Search/reproject coordinates.

Configure a Neighbor Search for the result of a geolocation. Be aware that this functionality is only supported in the WebOffice mobile client.
