Is there a way to change string to Location data type ?

Hi,

Location is a little bit more complex base type. It is actualy a JSON with 4 Objects:

• latitude
• longitude
• elevation
• units

Like this:

{
 "location": {
 "latitude": 0.1111,
 "longitude": 0.2222,
 "elevation": 0.3333,
 "units": "WGS84"
 }
}

So iff you want to change its value in ThingWorx JS code you should create new Location property and assing value like it would be a JSON:

me.myLocationProperty = { 
 "latitude": 50,
 "longitude": 50,
 "elevation": 50
}

You can now change 50, 50 & 50 hardcoded values to your paramaters from VARCHAR.

Best,

Adam
