I have found on android that using geolocation from Google Maps JavaScript API and from the Ionic Framework has caused issues of being very slow or not working at all. I then found a second geolocation module for Ionic called LocationService, from this documentation: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-native-google-maps/blob/master/documents/locationservice/README.md. The issue that I am having is although this Location module is working for Android, it is not working on ios or by serving the app on localhost. Below is the error that I am getting and my code that sets the map's center.
map.html:
<ion-header>
<ion-navbar>
<ion-title>
Map
</ion-title>
</ion-navbar>
</ion-header>
<ion-content>
<div id='map'></div>
</ion-content>
map.ts:
import { Component, ViewChild, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController, Platform, Navbar } from 'ionic-angular';
import { Geolocation } from '@ionic-native/geolocation';
import {
LocationService,
GoogleMap,
GoogleMapOptions,
MyLocation,
GoogleMaps
} from '@ionic-native/google-maps';
declare var google: any;
@Component({
selector: 'page-map',
templateUrl: 'map.html',
})
export class OfficeLocatorPage {
@ViewChild(Navbar) navBar: Navbar;
map: any;
mapOptions:any;
trafficEnabled = false;
transitEnabled = false;
bicycleEnabled = false;
markers = [];
places = [];
trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();
transitLayer = new google.maps.TransitLayer();
bicycleLayer = new google.maps.BicyclingLayer();
myLocation: any;
infoWindow: any;
isInfoWindowShown: boolean = false;
constructor(private navCtrl: NavController, private platform: Platform, private geolocation: Geolocation) {
}
ionViewDidLoad() {
this.navBar.backButtonClick = (e:UIEvent)=>{
this.navCtrl.pop({animate: true, animation: "transition", direction: "left", duration: 300});
};
}
ionViewDidEnter() {
this.platform.ready().then(() => {
this.places = [];
this.initMap(this);
});
}
initMap(scopeObj) {
LocationService.getMyLocation({enableHighAccuracy: true}).then((location: MyLocation) => {
this.setLocation(location.latLng);
}).catch((error: any) => {
// Can not get location, permission refused, and so on...
console.log(error);
});
}
setLocation(location) {
this.map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: location,
zoom: 10,
disableDefaultUI: true
});
let image = {
url: "assets/icon/blue_dot.png", // url
scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(25, 33), // scaled size
origin: new google.maps.Point(0,0), // origin
anchor: new google.maps.Point(0, 0) // ancho
};
let marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: this.map,
icon: image
});
this.myLocation = new google.maps.LatLng(location.lat, location.lng);
}
Error log:
Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Cannot read property 'LocationService' of null

from LocationService ionic google-maps object failing for ios, but works in android
