You may have questioned how ride-hailing and food delivery services determine your current location. Ever come across the term Geolocation?<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll learn how to use geolocation in React Native in this tutorial. We’ll create an example application that allows the user to submit their position to another source, such as<\/span> Twitter<\/span><\/a>, and shows their location on a map with longitude and latitude data.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>What is geolocation?<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

The ability to determine a device’s geographic location to the internet is known as geolocation. Using a device’s IP address to find its location in terms of nation, city, or postal code is a basic example of geolocation. Most of the time, an app cannot access a user’s location data without the user’s consent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>@react-native-community\/geolocation<\/span><\/a> API for geolocation is made available by React Native. However, because the React Native API is slower and less precise than the suggested Google Location Services API, <\/span>Google<\/span><\/a> does not advise using it for geolocation.<\/span><\/p>\n

React Native geolocation services can now be easily implemented in React Native thanks to the <\/span>wonderful libraries<\/span><\/a> created by the React Native community, such as<\/span> react-native-location<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>react-native-geolocation-service<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll be using the react-native-geolocation-service library in this React Native geolocation tutorial; it’s accessible as a Node package on <\/span>npm<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our program will be able to perform the following tasks:<\/span><\/p>\n
