HERE Maps API - get the geocoordinates when user clicks mouse over the map
See Also
This article shows how to get the geolocation behind user's mouse click over the map component.
The code example sets up an Event Listener on the "click" event of the Map Display. The x and y pixel values are extracted from evt.displayX and evt.displayY and converted to Geocoordinates.
