I want to build locate me functionality in laravel. I am using this code but it is sending slightly different latitude and longitude.
function getLocation()
{
var x = document.getElementById("lat_long");
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
} else {
x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
}
}
function showPosition(position)
{
var x = document.getElementById("lat_long");
x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude +
"<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
}
Is there any alternate. so that i can improve my result.
In order, for more accuracy you need to set Options object with enableHighAccuracy true. For more detail about the function you can check on this link https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/getCurrentPosition
var options = {
enableHighAccuracy: true,
timeout: 5000,
maximumAge: 0
};
function success(pos) {
var crd = pos.coords;
console.log('Your current position is:');
console.log(`Latitude : ${crd.latitude}`);
console.log(`Longitude: ${crd.longitude}`);
console.log(`More or less ${crd.accuracy} meters.`);
}
function error(err) {
console.warn(`ERROR(${err.code}): ${err.message}`);
}
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, options);
