GPS sensor

Here is how we can get user’s geolocation

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Using_geolocation

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

Browser will ask for user’s permission before fetching the location. The following is the desktop Safari prompting for the geolocation feature permission.

* Please note that getting geolocation requires an HTTPS protocol to work.

Example of fetching weather from location

Here is an example using OpenWeatherMap API.

* Please note that you may need to plug-in your API key.

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(location) {
  console.log(location.coords.latitude, location.coords.longitude);
  var url = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=' + location.coords.latitude + '&lon=' + location.coords.longitude + '&callback=?';
  $.getJSON(url, function(data){
    console.log(data);
  });
});

The final result printed in console.
