step 1. look here:

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/LocationInfo.html

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/LocationService.html

Well, that about covers it

Seriously though, you need to start it through input, with the line:

Input.location.Start();

here's the Script Example: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/LocationService.Start.html

Thank you for your Valuable reply.

I tested to get GPS coordinates as you mentioned in the above link. But it is showing an error messages as:

BCE0019: 'latitude' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.LocationService'. BCE0019: 'longitude' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.LocationService'.

The same error is showing for all the remaining values of altitude, horizontalAccuracy and timestamp.

Please explain briefly to get GPS co-ordinates.

Thank you in advance...

I solved the above errors.

I just changed lines Input.location.lastData.longitude ins$$anonymous$$d of Input.location.longitude

After solving the problem it just showing the location as (0,0,0,0). I am running this script by attaching to $$anonymous$$ainCamera in unity3d.

I din't used any of the devices. Please explain Which are the things required to show the location ?

Thank you in advance....

Here is an example: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/LocationService.Start.html

Just make sure you have checked "Input.location.isEnabledByUser", "Input.location.Start();" and "Input.location.status" like in the example above.

In addition if you want to make conversions you can start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude#The_length_of_a_degree_of_latitude
