try this

in your node_helper.js

var geo = {
  lat: 12.34567
  lng: 23.45678
}
this.sendSocketNotification("REFRESH_GEO", geo)

in your Main Module

start: function(){
  this.geo = {
    lat: 0, //default latitude
    lng: 0, //default longitude
  }
},

socketNotificationReceived: function(noti, payload) {
  if (noti == "REFRESH_GEO") {
    this.geo.lat = payload.lat
    this.geo.lng = payload.lng
    this.updateDom()
  }
},

getDom: function() {
  var lat = this.geo.lat
  var lng = this.geo.lng

  var wrapper = ...
},

@Sean said in Including socketNotificationReceived in getDom function:

var lat = this.geo.lat
var lng = this.geo.lng

not working, it always shows up 0,0 latitude and longitude…

It means, your socketNotificationReceived() in module is not working properly. Try this.

socketNotificationReceived: function(noti, payload) {
  console.log("NOTIFICATION IS FIRED:", noti)
  if (noti == "REFRESH_GEO") {
    console.log("PAYLOAD IS TREANFERED:", payload)
    this.geo.lat = payload.lat
    this.geo.lng = payload.lng
    console.log("I'LL UPDATE DOM BY REFRESHED GEO")
    this.updateDom()
  }
},

See how the log says. Check correct Socket Notification is fired with correct payload. If not, check your this.sendSocketNotification() in node_helper.js

I think it is not good to put the noti into start() of node_helper.js.
Because after finishing module loaded and DOM created, updateDOM() would be working properly, but your code tried too early.
As you’ve said, you had your code in node_helper.js to get REAL latitude & longitude, isn’t it? My code was just an example. Send your REAL lat & lng to main module when your node_helper code gathers real target values.
