Geolocate

Is there a way to make the MyLocation widget stay on so that it will follow you around as you are moving?

Stan,

Sure just add "useTracking": true to the locateButton object in the config.json for the myLocate widget.

So the config.json will look like this:

{

"locateButton": {

"geolocationOptions": {

"timeout": 15000

"highlightLocation": true,

"useTracking": true

}

Thanks Robert I knew there was a parameter to add but I could not find it right off.

Is there a way to toggle this on and off?

William,

Sure you just click the locate button again to turn it off, just like the standard LocateButton dijit in the JS API.
