Hi everyone,
I'm getting an error when i try to get Latitude & Longitude. The code looks like this shown below :

action(GeoLocation)

{

Caption = 'GeoLocation';

ApplicationArea = All;

Promoted = true;

Image = Map;

trigger OnAction()

var

Geolocation: Codeunit Geolocation;

Latitude: Decimal;

Longitude: Decimal;

Msg: Label 'Latitude is %1.//Longitude is %2.';

begin

Geolocation.SetHighAccuracy(true);

if Geolocation.RequestGeolocation() then begin

Geolocation.GetGeolocation(Latitude, Longitude);

Message(Msg, Format(Latitude), Format(Longitude));

end;

end;

And the error I get says : /
Exception of type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.Exceptions.NavNCLNotSupportedTypeException' was thrown./

Can anyone help with this. Thanks in advanced!

There is indeed a problem, I'm sorry I don't know the solution yet, and Microsoft's documentation doesn't say it's been deprecated, which may be a standards issue.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/application/system-application/codeunit/system.device.geolocation

codeunit 7569 "Geolocation Impl."

Thanks.

Hi, on May 14th I open a ticket to MS to ask information about the error.

Today they answer me: "The product team affirmed that the inability to open Geolocation page is based on a code defect and a work item has been created to address the issue."
