ask browser to allow location
function getLocation() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
} else {
x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
}
}
using position.coords.latitude & position.coords.longitude we can get exact position in map
useful when adding google map to website or app, also track geolocation
no any other script or file required.
