Html5 provides geolocation API by using which we can display the results in a Map. Following example shows how we can show the Map in html5. To display the result in a map, you need access to a map service, like Google Maps.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="mapclick">Click here to get your position in the map</p>
<button onclick="getLocation()">Try It</button>
<div id="mapholder"></div>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script>
var x = document.getElementById("mapclick");
function getLocation() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition, showError);
} else {
x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
}
}
function showPosition(position) {
lat = position.coords.latitude;
lon = position.coords.longitude;
latlon = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon)
mapholder = document.getElementById('mapholder')
mapholder.style.height = '250px';
mapholder.style.width = '500px';
var myOptions = {
center:latlon,zoom:14,
mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
mapTypeControl:false,
navigationControlOptions:{style:google.maps.NavigationControlStyle.SMALL}
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("mapholder"), myOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position:latlon,map:map,title:"You are here!"});
}
function showError(error) {
switch(error.code) {
case error.PERMISSION_DENIED:
x.innerHTML = "User denied the request for Geolocation."
break;
case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:
x.innerHTML = "Location information is unavailable."
break;
case error.TIMEOUT:
x.innerHTML = "The request to get user location timed out."
break;
case error.UNKNOWN_ERROR:
x.innerHTML = "An unknown error occurred."
break;
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
