| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| desiredAccuracyInMeters | The service accuracy you want to use, in meters. This determines the accuracy of the device's last ___location coordinates. Higher values like 500 don't require the device to use its GPS chip and thus save battery power. Lower values like 5-10 provide the best accuracy but require the GPS chip and thus use more battery power. The default value is 10 meters. |
| updateDistanceInMeters | The minimum distance, in meters, that the device must move laterally before Unity updates Input.___location. Higher values like 500 produce fewer updates and are less resource intensive to process. The default is 10 meters. |
Starts ___location service updates.
After you call this function, you can access the device's last ___location coordinates.
To do this, check lastData in Input.___location.
Note: The ___location service doesn't start to send ___location data immediately. Check status in Input.___location for the current service status.
On Android, using this method in scripts automatically adds the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to the Android manifest. If you use low accuracy values like 500 or higher, select Low Accuracy Location in Player Settings to add the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission instead.

// Waits until the ___location service initializes int maxWait = 20; while (Input.___location.status == LocationServiceStatus.Initializing && maxWait > 0) { yield return new WaitForSeconds(1); maxWait--; }
// If the service didn't initialize in 20 seconds this cancels ___location service use. if (maxWait < 1) { Debug.Log("Timed out"); yield break; }
// If the connection failed this cancels ___location service use. if (Input.___location.status == LocationServiceStatus.Failed) { Debug.LogError("Unable to determine device ___location"); yield break; } else { // If the connection succeeded, this retrieves the device's current ___location and displays it in the Console window.

// Stops the ___location service if there is no need to query ___location updates continuously. Input.___location.Stop(); } }
