The getCurrentPosition()
method is used to return the user’s position.
<script> var x = document.getElementById("demo"); function getLocation() { if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition); } else { x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser."; } } function showPosition(position) { x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude; } </script>Example explained: Check if Geolocation is supported If supported, run the getCurrentPosition() method. If not, display a message to the user If the getCurrentPosition() method is successful, it returns a coordinates object to the function specified in the parameter (showPosition) The showPosition() function outputs the Latitude and Longitude
