jLocationService User Experience
Your component can deliver any user experience you desire. There are a number of common
location-based features where LocationService might be suitable.
Here are a few examples of common location-based features:
- Display a user’s current location on a map
- Get the user’s current location when they perform an action in your app
- Provide directional guidance for travel between the current location and another location
- Calculate travel time from the current location to another
- Perform an action when a user approaches a destination
- Perform an action when a user moves a significant distance
In these examples, LocationService is usually only a part of the complete solution. Map display, route and travel time calculations, and so on are other parts that you need to implement yourself.
If your feature is a straightforward, map-based page, you can use LocationService position information along with the lightning-map base component. For more complex solutions, such as those requiring routing directions, you might need to integrate with other tools or services.
