Geolocation getCurrentPosition issue!

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hello,

I’m trying to add geolocation to my app (ionic 3) to get my current position, but it gives me this error

import { Geolocation } from '@ionic-native/gelocation';

Expected 1-3 arguments, but got 0.

However, i get another error when using this import:

import { Geolocation } from '@ionic-native/gelocation/ngx';

Object(…) is not a function
at Geolocation.Array.concat.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition

my code:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Geolocation } from '@ionic-native/geolocation/ngx';
//import { Geolocation } from '@ionic-native/geolocation';
...

constructor( .... , private gps: Geolocation, .....) {}

getLocation(){
    this.gps.getCurrentPosition().then(res => {
        console.log(res);
    });
  }
....

Thanks in advance!

I think it should be used as described here:

that is:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geolocationSuccess,
                                         [geolocationError],
                                         [geolocationOptions]);

Parameters
geolocationSuccess: The callback that is passed the current position.
geolocationError: (Optional) The callback that executes if an error occurs.
geolocationOptions: (Optional) The geolocation options.

Probably these instructions refer to an old version of the library: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/geolocation#installation
