Get GPS location from the web browser

by

If you use the Geolocation API, it would be as simple as using the following code.

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(location) {
  console.log(location.coords.latitude);
  console.log(location.coords.longitude);
  console.log(location.coords.accuracy);
});

You may also be able to use Google’s Client Location API.
