This API enables you to provide several Location Services on Native Mobile applications by interacting with the GPS on the devices where the apps are running.
You can find the Maps external object in the KB Explorer within the Common module, which in turn is located within the GeneXus module.
Returns the current authorization status.
It is based on the APIAuthorizationStatus domain (the possible Enumerated values are: Not Determined, Restricted, Denied, Authorized, AuthorizedWhenInUse).
Indicates whether the application has been given permission to use location services. It is a boolean value.
Indicates whether location services are enabled in the device. It is a boolean value.

It is based on the LocationAccuracyAuthorization domain (the possible Enumerated values are: Full, Reduced, Unknown).
Note: Those methods marked with an asterisk (*) only work on the device (not simulator nor web environment).

Returns the distance between the two locations given.
Allows asking the user for access to full accuracy in the locations temporarily at runtime. Receives the purpose string to be displayed in the permission request dialog and returns true if the full accuracy permission is correctly granted.
Notes:
- Some of the methods are available for Web Environments as well.
- Many of the methods and properties provided by this external object are similar to those provided by the Geolocation external object. The difference lies in the use of the Geography data type (in Maps external object) instead of the Geolocation domain (in Geolocation external object) to represent geographic coordinates.
