Get Current Latitude Longitude

[Faizeal Mohamed]

Hi,

Can we get the current position latitude and longtude through scripts?

I can see geolocation is getting the current location, but i need to get lat long through script

Any idea?

Thanks,

If you'll be doing it through a client script or client controller on the service portal, you can use the HTML5 geolocation API.  Even Internet Explorer supports it.  Just a note, the users will be prompted that the page is trying to access their location.  If you do it in a client script, you'll want to view the client script in list view and set "isolate scope" to false so you'll have access to the dom.

 You can open f12 tools in your browser and paste the following script into the console to try it out.

function showPosition(position) {
console.log("Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude);
console.log("Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude);
}

(function getLocation() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
} else { 
console.log("Geolocation is not supported by this browser.");
}
}())

I found the above information here:
