///////Signin Controller code for location tracking//////////

     $scope.nearme = function(firstname,activity,date,time) {
    if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (position) 
          {
            lat = position.coords.latitude; 
            lng = position.coords.longitude;
            var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
            var geocoder = geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
            geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng': latlng }, function (results, status) 
                {
                if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) 
                {
                    if (results[1]) 
                    {
                      console.log(results[1].formatted_address)
                      console.log(firstname)
                      console.log(date)
                      console.log(time);
                      var obj={};
                      obj["User"]=firstname;
                      obj["Activity"]=activity;
                      obj["Date"]=$scope.date;
                      obj["Time"]=$scope.time;
                      obj["LocationDetails"]=results[1].formatted_address;

                      console.log(obj)
                   $http.post("/ncrActivityDetails",obj).success(function(res9){
                        console.log(res9)
                      })
                    }
                }
            });

        });  
    }
}
/////////////setInterval Function for calling every one hour///////////

    setInterval(function(){
    $scope.date3 = {date1:new Date()}
    $scope.activity="Tracking";
     var  dates  = new Date(((new Date($scope.date3.date1).toISOString().slice(0, 23))+"-05:30")).toISOString();
            var a = dates.split("T");
            $scope.date = a[0];
            $scope.time = a[1];
            console.log($scope.date)
            console.log($scope.time)
    $scope.nearme($scope.firstname,$scope.activity,$scope.date,$scope.time);
},3600000);

////////////////ActivityDetails collection sample data/////////

    {
    "_id" : ObjectId("5a8a6936fa642a14149a12d1"),
    "User" : "7829780519",
    "Activity" : "Login",
    "Date" : "2018-02-19",
    "Time" : "11:35:26.777Z",
    "LocationDetails" : "Sri laxmivenkateshwara, #1/10, 4th Main, Srinivasanagar, B S K 3rd Stage, Water Tank Rd, Banashankari 3rd Stage, Banashankari, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560085, India"
}

write a service/factory for this. Transfer your function there as `this.nearme = function(firstname,activity,date,time){...}` and call it in your controller with `YourService.nearme(...)`. (Also you are using `$scope.date` in your function, whereas you are passing `date` as a parameter) — Aleksey Solovey, Feb 20 '18 at 14:03

solutions: 1) create your function in your .run module so that it will work eventhough you have navigated to different controllers , check this link

.run(function($interval){
   setInterval(function(){
$rootScope.nearme($scope.firstname,$scope.activity,$scope.date,$scope.time);},3600000);});

2) create a service - link

It's a [bad practice to pollute your `$rootScope`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35345446/best-practice-for-using-rootscope-in-an-angularjs-application). It's better to use a service. – Aleksey Solovey Feb 20 '18 at 14:15
