Once you have configured your app's settings to use the Geospatial API, you can obtain the device camera's GAREarth.cameraGeospatialTransform. This transform, managed in a GAREarth object, contains the following information:
Location, expressed in latitude and longitude
Altitude
An orientation approximating the direction the user is facing in the EUS coordinate system with X+ pointing east, Y+ pointing up, and Z+ pointing south
Adjust the pose for accuracy
When the device is upright in the default orientation, the pitch (X+) and roll (Z+) angles tend to be precise due to a natural alignment with AR tracking. However, the yaw (Y+) angles can vary depending on VPS data availability and temporal conditions at the location. Your app may have to make adjustments for accuracy.
