      // Create an Observable that will start listening to geolocation updates
// when a consumer subscribes.
const locations = new Observable((observer) => {
  let watchId: number;

  // Simple geolocation API check provides values to publish

    });
  } else {
    observer.error('Geolocation not available');
  }

  // When the consumer unsubscribes, clean up data ready for next subscription.
  return {
    unsubscribe() {
      navigator.geolocation.clearWatch(watchId);
    }
  };
});

// Call subscribe() to start listening for updates.
const locationsSubscription = locations.subscribe({
  next(position) {
    console.log('Current Position: ', position);
  },
  error(msg) {
    console.log('Error Getting Location: ', msg);

// Stop listening for location after 10 seconds
setTimeout(() => {
  locationsSubscription.unsubscribe();
}, 10000);
