• ptype: ptype of the plugin
• enableTracking: specific if the plugin must track the position or not
• bind: the map will center on the found position
• zoom: the map will center and zoom on the found position (overrides 'bind')
• displayInLayerSwitcher: display the layer in the layer switcher
• layerName: layer name to display in the layer switcher
• geolocationStyles : options for the Marker layer style
  • pointStyle: style for an OpenLayers.Geometry.Point
  • auraStyle: style for an OpenLayers.Geometry.Polygon
• geolocationOptions: options to pass to the OpenLayers Geolocate Plugin :
  • enableHighAccuracy : true/false, ask the browser for an high accuracy position
  • maximumAge: accept a cached position whose age is no greater than the specified time in milliseconds
  • timeout: maximum length of time (in milliseconds) that is allowed to pass from the call to getCurrentPosition() or watchPosition() until the corresponding successCallback
• actionTarget: plugin target (plugin general configuration)
