- +Related to: react-native, javascript
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Cordova Geolocation if: You want it's essential for apps like ride-sharing services, fitness trackers, or local business finders, as it provides a unified api to access device location across multiple operating systems, saving development time compared to implementing native solutions separately for each platform and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use React Native Geolocation if: You prioritize it is essential for applications like ride-sharing, fitness trackers, delivery services, and social check-ins, where real-time or periodic location data is needed over what Cordova Geolocation offers.
