geolocationOptions
==================

Optional parameters to customize the retrieval of the geolocation
`Position`.

    { maximumAge: 3000, timeout: 5000, enableHighAccuracy: true };

Options
-------

- __enableHighAccuracy:__ Provides a hint that the application would like to receive the best possible results. By default, the device will attempt to retrieve a `Position` using network-based methods. Setting this property to `true` tells the framework to use more accurate methods, such as satellite positioning. _(Boolean)_
- __timeout:__ The maximum length of time (milliseconds) that is allowed to pass from the call to `geolocation.getCurrentPosition` or `geolocation.watchPosition` until the corresponding `geolocationSuccess` callback is invoked. If the `geolocationSuccess` callback is not invoked within this time, the `geolocationError` callback will be invoked with a `PositionError.TIMEOUT` error code. NOTE: when used in conjunction with `geolocation.watchPosition`, the `geolocationError` callback could be called on an interval every `timeout` milliseconds! _(Number)_
- __maximumAge:__ Accept a cached position whose age is no greater than the specified time in milliseconds. _(Number)_

Android Quirks
--------------

The Android 2.x simulators will not return a geolocation result unless the enableHighAccuracy option is set to true.

    { enableHighAccuracy: true }
