How to use OpenLayers Geolocate with the OpenGeo Suite Client SDK?

Question

I’d like to have GPS functionality added to my OpenGeo Suite Client SDK application.

From what I understand it should be possible to use the Geolocate control from OpenLayers. Preferably there would be a checkbox (placed on map.tbar) with the option of continuous tracking. If that’s not possible, a button that gets the current position would do as well (like this example).

How would I go about incorporating Geolocate?

Thanks.

You would create a custom plugin where the checkbox would be your action. See http://suite.opengeo.org/opengeo-docs/apps/plugincreate/ for a tutorial.
