Useful for ESP32 or Watchy users, gives 3 values after doing simple calls, captures City, Longitude and Latitude in char arrays for use with other online APIs (Weather, etc).
3 functions exist:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
bool beginGeoFromWeb(); |
This starts the process, WiFi has to be available and an active connection, if any of that fails, returns false. |
bool gotGeoFromWeb(); |
Returns true if it has the data or false if it doesn't, usually wait 2 to 4 seconds for this to happen. |
void endGeoFromWeb(); |
Tells GeoLocate it is finished, so it can close any active connection (if any). |
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| char City[128] | City located at IP address. The 128 char length is because a New Zealand location has 85 characters in length! |
| char Longitude[32] | Longitude where the IP address is located. |
| char Latitude[32] | Latitude where the IP address is located. |
This code is designed as a thread, you start the request and then ask it if it has a result to create a non-blocking method.
