Getting a user’s position and mapping in websites is very common today. In this course, Working with Geolocation in HTML5, you’ll learn to retrieve a user’s location from their browser and show their location on a map. First, you’ll explore the geolocation object available in all modern browsers. Next, you’ll discover how to display that location on a map, and use Google Maps to place markers at that location. Next, you’ll use Google Maps to get directions from one location to another. Finally, you’ll learn how the Geocoding features of Google Maps will then be used to search for addresses.
