Geolocation - VertiGIS Studio Web

Hi,
I'm looking to adjust the update interval of the users position when using geolocation in VertiGIS Studio Web. Some of our end users are reporting that it's quite slow, and difficult to use while driving. 

I belive that it's not possible to modify the update interval at the moment, but I could be wrong? :D
 

 

Making some arguments available on the operation could be a solution?

Cheers,
Sindre

  Hey Sindre Sellæg 

  Thanks for pointing that out! After reviewing our source code, you’re correct—we don’t currently expose a method for changing the update interval in VertiGIS Studio Web (VSW). This is due to the context of running VSW in a browser, where the browser determines both the accuracy and frequency of location updates, and we simply listen to the data it provides.

  If you require more precise or frequent geolocation updates, you might consider using VertiGIS Studio Mobile (VSM). While VSM also doesn’t expose a direct method for modifying the polling rate, it leverages the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Native apps, which accesses device-specific SDKs for geolocation. This setup can provide more accurate updates compared to browser-based solutions.

  Additionally, VSM supports events such as geolocation.metadata-changed, which you can watch to trigger custom behavior. While this doesn’t directly affect the update frequency, it might offer a way to achieve a better user experience.
