07:44:46 [lbolstad]
Should we change the orientation axes?

Steve: Android uses two different coordinate systems
08:20:42 [lbolstad]
Regarding compass heading, there's the "Augmented Reality" use case that may or may not be covered by the 6.1.3 Mapping use case
08:21:16 [lbolstad]
Steve: No, it's not
08:21:32 [lbolstad]
Should we add that as a fourth use case ?
08:22:35 [lbolstad]
AR: Hold the device in a non-horizontal, possibly non-vertical, orientation, then try to calculate the compass heading based on the current event values
08:22:37 [lbolstad]
it's hard

08:58:08 [lbolstad]
conclusion: We'll keep our current choice of orientation axes

09:02:49 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/2008/geolocation/track/issues/89
09:08:12 [lbolstad]
We agree with jgraham's comment and will change the wording in section 4.2 accordingly.
09:08:26 [lbolstad]
That is, the event will fire regardless of whether or not there are listeners registered.
09:13:12 [lbolstad]
issue-90?

ISSUE-90 -- How frequently should the devicemotion event be fired? -- open
09:13:12 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/2008/geolocation/track/issues/90
09:13:40 [lbolstad]
Steve: From looking at Android and iOS the assumption is that the underlying HW updates the data at regular intervals.
09:20:04 [lbolstad]
We agree that we need to rephrase this sentence in section 4.3:
09:20:05 [lbolstad]
The event must fire at regular intervals and the interval property must provide this interval in milliseconds.
09:21:06 [lbolstad]
To better reflect the intention, which is that the interval at which the event is fired should be a best effort based on the underlying hardware interval.
09:26:25 [matt]
(I'm worried about flooding of events, either with super fast hardware, or this whole sleep/wake thing)
09:28:39 [lbolstad]

ISSUE-7 -- Should heading & speed be moved out of the Coordinates interface? -- open
10:56:31 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/2008/geolocation/track/issues/7
11:05:33 [matt]
-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-geolocation/2009Mar/0152.html Allan's initial comments about heading
11:05:41 [matt]
[[Heading/Direction (less so) and speed (more so) are not specific to
11:05:42 [matt]
geospatial information AND are common to both civic as well as
11:05:43 [matt]
geospatial location objects. Suggest heading/direction and speed should
11:05:43 [matt]
be a separate object that can be referenced by both civic and geospatial
11:05:43 [matt]
positions.]]
11:17:33 [lbolstad]
at the previous f2f we discussed the use case where an application wants just the velocity (and/or heading), and not the location
11:18:11 [lbolstad]
there's (arguably) no privacy concerns related to velocity/heading/altitude, which is an argument for separating them out
11:20:34 [lbolstad]
backwards compatibility with v1 is also important
11:21:00 [lbolstad]
andreip: We could simply make all attributes in the Coordinates interface optional
11:48:44 [lbolstad]
Wojciech: Proposal is to add two new optional attributes to PositionOptions:
11:49:03 [lbolstad]
requestCoordinates (default: true), requestAddress (default: false)
11:50:11 [lbolstad]
In the Position object, we make the coords attribute optional and add an address attribute, also optional
11:52:27 [lbolstad]
if requestCoordinates AND requestAddress are both absent in PositionOptions, an implementation MUST return coordinates
11:52:37 [lbolstad]
in order to preserve backwards compatibility
12:15:25 [andreip]
andreip has joined #geolocation
12:16:23 [lbolstad]
slightly different proposal from Steve: requireCoordinates (default: true) instead of requestCoordinates
12:21:12 [lbolstad]
third proposal from andreip: add getCurrenPositionv2() with the semantics of the above proposals, just to get rid of the additional flags in PositionOptions
12:28:29 [lbolstad]
requireLatLong is probably a better name than requireCoordinates, since an app could still get e.g. speed from the Coordinates if this flag is set to false

we have consensus in the meeting room that this is a good resolution to issue-7
12:43:41 [lbolstad]

12:44:14 [lbolstad]
it also means that we won't do what's proposed in issue-96
