Geolocation | Maps JavaScript API

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

This example creates a map that displays the geographic location of a user or device on a Google map, through use of their browser's HTML5 Geolocation feature. The user must consent to location sharing or else an error is shown. Read more about the W3C Geolocation standard.

Read the documentation.

// Note: This example requires that you consent to location sharing when
// prompted by your browser. If you see the error "The Geolocation service
// failed.", it means you probably did not give permission for the browser to
// locate you.
