# Device.getLocation

> Functional API `getCurrentLocation`You can use the same function with this as well.

### Feature description

Fetch the device's current location once. Use this when you need the current location, such as for maps, weather, or store lookup. To keep detecting location changes, `Device.subscribeLocation`use it.

If you don't have location permission, `GetCurrentLocationPermissionError`occurs. `Device.getLocation.getPermission()` / `Device.getLocation.openPermissionDialog()`to check and request permission.

### Type

```ts
Device.getLocation(options: GetCurrentLocationOptions): Promise<Location>;
```

**Params**

```ts
enum Accuracy {
  Lowest = 1, // within an error margin of about 3 KM
  Low = 2, // within an error margin of about 1 KM
  Balanced = 3, // within an error margin of a few hundred meters
  High = 4, // within an error margin of about 10 M
  Highest = 5,
  BestForNavigation = 6,
}

type GetCurrentLocationOptions = {
  accuracy: Accuracy;
};
```

**Response**

```ts
type Location = {
  accessLocation?: "FINE" | "COARSE"; // Android only
  timestamp: number;
  coords: {
    latitude: number;
    longitude: number;
    altitude: number;
    accuracy: number;
    altitudeAccuracy: number;
    heading: number;
  };
};
```

### Error

Errors are thrown as classes — `error instanceof GetCurrentLocationPermissionError`is used to identify it. The class can `@apps-in-toss/web-framework`be imported from

| Error class                         | Description                                                                                                    |
| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `GetCurrentLocationPermissionError` | This is when location permission has been denied. `Device.getLocation.openPermissionDialog()`to request again. |

### Example code

```js
import {
  Accuracy,
  Device,
  GetCurrentLocationPermissionError,
} from "@apps-in-toss/web-framework";

async function showCurrentPosition() {
  try {
    const location = await Device.getLocation({ accuracy: Accuracy.Balanced });
    console.log(location.coords.latitude, location.coords.longitude);
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof GetCurrentLocationPermissionError) {
      console.warn("You don't have location permission.");
      return;
    }
    console.error(error);
  }
}

document
  .getElementById("get-location")
  .addEventListener("click", showCurrentPosition);
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers-apps-in-toss.toss.im/documentation/api-and-sdk-en/sdk/domains-api/device/device.getlocation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
