Hi Sujan, thanks for your help. The inaccurate location comes when testing on on a Macbook Pro with Mac OS Sierra emulator. After building to a mobile device, the location is accurate. Thanks!

Is Google Maps or Apple Maps more accurate?

That was what I was going for :wink: Great it works for you now.

if you are testing with emulator your current location not taken by emulator it only take location that provided to emulator

this.geolocation.getCurrentPosition({enableHighAccuracy:true}).then((position) => {

let latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);

let mapOptions = {
center: latLng,
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};

this.map = new google.maps.Map(this.mapElement.nativeElement, mapOptions);

this.marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: this.map,
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,
position: this.map.getCenter()
});

let content = “

Your location

”;

this.addInfoWindow(this.marker,content);
}

this is my code it display correctly in android but ios always away 200m - 500m away from my current location

Hi, for me the location is coming incorrect even on the Device,
for example, if I’m setting my location as “Washington state”, its pointing to “Washington DC”.
It’s working fine on Android though
