Question

I had made an app for getting latitude and longitude and converting it into address I tried on emulator its showing lat-47.669 and long= -122.124. I tested on device its showing location in japan. But, I am in Hyderabad,India. How can this be, please check whether my code is incorrect or its a device problem

Was it helpful?

Solution

LongitudeTextBlock.Text += e.Position.Location.Longitude.ToString("0.000");

Try using the above code
