Question

I already found functionality that can give a users country or state using his or her IP address. But what I actually need is the exact location.

Like you can see on this link, it is possible to get the very specific current location of a user.

How is this possible with ASP.NET C#, Javascript or jQuery?

Answer 1

  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
      onSuccess,
      onError, {
        enableHighAccuracy: true,
        timeout: 20000,
        maximumAge: 120000
      });

function onSuccess(position) {
      //the following are available to use
  //position.coords.latitude
  //position.coords.longitude
 // position.coords.altitude
 // position.coords.accuracy
 // position.coords.altitudeAccuracy
 // position.coords.heading
 // position.coords.speed 


}
