Get GPS location using Javascript without Internet

Question

Hi Can we get GPS location using javascript without internet connection if device has GPS hardware?

Please note who are marking it as duplicate

I need javascript to work without internet connection and use GPS hardware to determine the location.

Are you using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Using_geolocation ? I've never really used it, especially offline, so I'm not sure how it works in different situations — Ian, Jun 26 '13 at 06:19

Javascript can show you geolocation via navigator.geolocation.

function getLocation()
{
    if (navigator.geolocation)
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
    else
        console.log("Geolocation is not supported by this browser");
}
function showPosition(position)
{
    console.log("Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude);
    console.log("Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude); 
}

@vinod8812 Are you 100% sure it doesn't work without internet? – Ian Jun 26 '13 at 13:33
yes..it just shows you the last cached location.. – vinod8812 Jun 26 '13 at 15:51
@vinod8812 Change the options used to not cache the location – Ian Jun 26 '13 at 16:16

This function doesn't works for offline mode. How to get the same in case of Offline mode? I agree with @vinod8812. – Jayprakash Dubey Jul 03 '13 at 05:55
