How to implement Mobile GPS from Babylon?

[Siva_s]

HI All,

I am new to babylon, right now i am working on a project mainly for mobile devices where i have to get the mobile gps location and create a navigation.

Also a quick search on the forum pointed me at those threads:

Is it possible to make triangle with coordinate ( longitude , latitude , z )?

Hello everyone I have a geoJson file with arrays of coordinates ( Longitude , Latitude , z ), I want to know is it possible to make a triangle mesh with Longitude, Latitude and z? or should I convert all of them to meter?

World latitude/longitude to scene Vector3 conversion

I want to place 3d objects to a sphere(planet). I have the real latitude/longitude coordinates to which I want to place my 3d objects, but I need their babylonJS Vector3 representation. How can I do that? I think there are also many other people looking at a solution to this problem. I was unable to find any demo/code to convert both ways: babylonJS coordinates of a point at a sphere to latitude/longitude(real world GPS coordinates) Basically I need an implementation to LocationService inte…

by using this gps-npm framework can i implement the GPS feature into my application?

what i really want is, i want to create a navigation from user location to the desired location which is showing in the map and by moving it has to reflect on the page as well, like google map.

As long as you get location info from the location apis it should be good

[Siva_s]

any reference or example project for implement the location api’s?

To integrate mobile GPS location with Babylon for navigation, you can use the HTML5 Geolocation API to obtain the device’s location and then pass those coordinates to Babylon for rendering the navigation.
