I download the Geo Location demo that Chris Holland have made back in 2013.
I was unable to open it, it gave me a class exception when I try to add the GeoLocationFormD.

Has anyone been able to get the geo location from the phone or tablet?

Thanks,
Kim

Presumably it is a version 1 project, so incompatible. But the core will be the same - open it in Notepad and copy the relevant parts.

Thanks Matthew, I don't know why I din't think about that. I will give it a try.

It did not work. I'm getting an error:
[Error] GeoLocationInterface.wbs (11,102): Functions must have a result
[Error] GeoLocationInterface.wbs (12,112): Functions must have a result
[Error] GeoLocationInterface.wbs (13,41): Functions must have a result

Here is the three lines:
external function GetPosition(PositionSuccess: TGetPositionSuccess; PositionError: TGetPositionError);
external function StartWatchingPosition(PositionSuccess: TGetPositionSuccess; PositionError: TGetPositionError);
external function StopWatchingPosition();

I'm trying to show the user how to get from the location the user are to an address.

I don't know if it even possible to show direction in the Map unit in EWB.

Kim,

The next EWB build will have Geolocation support (TLocationServices in the WebComps unit), so if you can wait, you won't have to mess with things at such a low level anymore, with EWB taking care of a lot of the finer points of the API.

No, you cannot show/manipulate directions in the TMap control.  However, you will be able to grab the latitude/longitude from the location services and pop those into the TMap control to get the current location.

Thanks, I can wait.
Will I be able to add several Pins on the map or can I do this already?

Kim,

Sure, just add multiple locations (Map.Locations.Add) and make sure that their ShowMarker property is set to True:
