Stored procedures
Retrieves the information about the last known location of the device.
Example
pos is geoPosition 
pos = GPSLastPosition()
IF ErrorOccurred = False THEN
	Info(" Latitude : " + pos.Latitude)  
	Info(" Longitude : " + pos.Longitude)  
END
Syntax
<Result> = GPSLastPosition()
<Result>: geoPosition variable
Name of the geoPosition variable. This variable contains the information about the last known device position. To find out whether the position failed to be retrieved, use the ErrorOccurred variable.
Remarks

Special cases

  • To determine if a value was assigned to the Speed, Accuracy, Direction or Altitude properties of a geoPosition variable when the location was retrieved, use the SpeedValid, AccuracyValid, DirectionValid and AltitudeValid properties.
  • The positioning information retrieved corresponds to the device's last known position: it may therefore not correspond to the device's current position if, for example, the device has been moved while the GPS signal was invalid.
