PositionError
========

A `PositionError` object is returned to the `geolocationError` callback when an error occurs.

Properties
----------

- __code:__ One of the predefined error codes listed below.
- __message:__ Error message describing the details of the error encountered.

Constants
---------

- `PositionError.PERMISSION_DENIED`
- `PositionError.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE`
- `PositionError.TIMEOUT`

Description
-----------

The `PositionError` object is returned to the user through the `geolocationError` callback function when an error occurs with geolocation.

### `PositionError.PERMISSION_DENIED`

Returned when the user does not allow your application to retrieve
position information. This is dependent on the platform.

### `PositionError.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE`

Returned when the device was unable to retrieve a position. In general
this means the device has no network connectivity and/or cannot get a
satellite fix.

### `PositionError.TIMEOUT`

Returned when the device was unable to retrieve a position within the
time specified in the `geolocationOptions`' `timeout` property. When using
in conjunction with `geolocation.watchPosition`, this error could be
called into the `geolocationError` callback every `timeout` milliseconds.
