Binding to cordova-plugin-geolocation

Example application.

What does cordova-plugin-geolocation do ?

This plugin provides information about the device's location, such as latitude
and longitude. Common sources of location information include Global Positioning
System (GPS) and location inferred from network signals such as IP address,
RFID, WiFi and Bluetooth MAC addresses, and GSM/CDMA cell IDs. There is no
guarantee that the API returns the device's actual location.

This API is based on the W3C Geolocation API Specification, and only executes on
devices that don't already provide an implementation.

Repository branches and tags

We are migrating bindings from js_of_ocaml (low level bindings) to gen_js_api (high level bindings).

The gen_js_api binding allows to use pure ocaml types (you don't have to use the ## syntax from js_of_ocaml or Js.string type but only # and string type).

The js_of_ocaml version is available in the branch js_of_ocaml but we recommend to use the gen_js_api version which is the master branch.
