In this article, we will learn how to get the latitude and longitude of our current location.
Follow the steps :
Step 1 :
Create the HTML component.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Click the button to get your coordinates.</p>
<button onclick="getLocation()">Click now</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
</body>
</html>
Step 2 :
In the HTML body area, write the Javascript code that will be used. Create the HTML component.
<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>Let's view the entire code now (i.e both HTML and Javascript)
