I need to get the users current location and the Javascript API navigator.geolocation seems sufficient for my needs but am wondering why others use cordova-plugin-geolocation. Does the plugin offer something more or more reliable etc?
Thanks.
Hi,
Typescript is just a superset of javascript. Typescript transpile to javascript. The performances are identical.

@LAFONT I don’t think you understood my question. Sorry if I haven’t been clearer.
My question is about https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation. What is the benefit of using this plugin? Under the hood it seems to be using navigator.geolocation API so why not use it directly in the code?
@LAFONT I found my answer in the documentation: Geolocation - Apache Cordova
The plugin is doing the same thing as the desktop browser but provides backward compatibility for devices that do not support navigator. geolocation:
This API is based on the W3C Geolocation API Specification, and only executes on devices that don’t already provide an implementation.
