const myElement = document.getElementById("demo");
function getLocation() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
} else {
myElement.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
}
}
function showPosition(position) {
myElement.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude +
"
Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
}

To use these APIs, you will have to download the code from the Web.
