I have a requirement where i have to find the geoip location of the users. I have used the code where i store the address of the user in database and then display the geoip location of that user.Now suppose the users changed his location to some other place.If the user now logs in from that region or country, how should i display the geoip of that user. The code that i use is:
geo.geocoder(geo.google, address, sensor,function(formattedAddress, latitude, longitude) {
console.log("Formatted Address: " + formattedAddress);
console.log("Latitude: " + latitude);
console.log("Longitude: " + longitude);
user.latitude = latitude;
user.longitude = longitude;
user.save(function(err) {
if(err)
return userUpdateFailed();
req.flash('info', 'Succesfully Upadated Changes');
res.redirect('/userinfo');
});
});
Is there any alternative wherby i can be able to find the exact location of user.Please help
Node-GeoIP could be a solution but keep in mind that ip-based geolocalization isn't always truthful.

I want to know what code do I need to save the data that JavaScript displays to SQL Database
I'm inside the Create View of my Controller.
This is my code on the Create view that display my Javascript:
<div>
<script>
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition, showError);
}
else { $("#message").html("Geolocation is not supported by this
browser."); }
function showPosition(position) {
var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
var latlon = "Latitude: " + latitude + "<br/>" + "Longitude: " +
longitude;
$("#message").html(latlon);
}
</script>
//This Display Latitude and Longitude
<p id="message"></p>
</div>
This code is Inside the Create.CSHTML file above its default code. It will show my current Latitude and Longitude values. I need to make it save those values in SQL
I am trying to run a Javascript code to retrieve a device's geolocation. When I try to run the code from the localhost (127.0.0.1) the code runs as expected, opening a pop up to ask the user to enable location services. However, when I try to host this code or access it using the local IP address (192.168.x.y), the code fails with an error
Any ideas as to why it works for localhost and not otherwise.
Here's the JS Code
function geoFindMe() {
var output = document.getElementById("out");
if (!navigator.geolocation){
output.innerHTML = "<p>Geolocation is not supported by your browser</p>";
return;
}
function success(position) {
var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
output.innerHTML = '<p>Latitude is ' + latitude + '° <br>Longitude is ' + longitude + '°</p>';
var img = new Image();
img.src = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=" + latitude + "," + longitude + "&zoom=13&size=300x300&sensor=false";
output.appendChild(img);
}
function error() {
output.innerHTML = "Unable to retrieve your location";
}
output.innerHTML = "<p>Locating…</p>";
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error);
}
Thanks.
Recent versions of Chrome require secure protocols for some features. Fore example a page must be served up httpS for it to be able to obtain the user's geolocation.
The restriction is relaxed for localhost to enable dev/debugging.
I am trying to get geo coordinates and then return them into my HTML. This is the code I have so far, but it is not returning the coordinates onto my page:
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
$("#cityname").html("latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br>longitude: " + position.coords.longitude);
});
}
I have an id in my html named 'cityname'. I would also like to convert the coordinates into a city name.
Your code seems to work just fine:
https://jsfiddle.net/sexepm39/
Perhaps your div isn't available in the DOM when this code runs?
Try wrapping it as such:
$(document).ready(function() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
$("#cityname").html("latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br>longitude: " + position.coords.longitude);
});
}
});
As for getting the city name, this part of your question is already answered: Get city name using geolocation
So I am working with google maps on a project
I need to get lat&lng from a place name (not city but a, lets say, caffee in a city, or a mall in a city). So I went with this code
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': 'SCC, Sarajevo'}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
alert("location : " + results[0].geometry.location.lat() + " " +results[0].geometry.location.lng());
$("#pretragaBarInput").val("location : " + results[0].geometry.location.lat() + " " +results[0].geometry.location.lng());
} else {
alert("Something got wrong " + status);
}
});
(SCC is a mall in Sarajevo)
But I dont get the exact lat&lng from the place but rather lat&lng from the city center. I've tried with other places but got the exact same coords that point to the city center
P.s. This is just a debug script to see if its working...
Geocoding is for addresses(although it also may return the desired result for prominent places).
When you are searching for places uses the places-library, e.g. a PlacesService.textSearch
(returns: Sarajevo City Center, Vrbanja 1, Sarajevo 71000)
I'm coding a web app which is using by maps. I want to find visitor's location. It is working on firefox but not working on chrome. Chrome says "it is blocked that track your location by this page." How can i fix it for chrome?
function onPositionUpdate(position)
{
var lat = position.coords.latitude;
var lng = position.coords.longitude;
alert("Current position: " + lat + " " + lng);
}
if(navigator.geolocation)
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onPositionUpdate);
else
alert("navigator.geolocation is not available");
and now I try this:
function get_location() {
if (geo_position_js.init()) {
geo_position_js.getCurrentPosition(show_map, handle_error);
}
}
function show_map(position) {
var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
alert("lat:" + latitude + " long:" + longitude);
}
function handle_error(err) {
alert(err.code);
if (err.code == 1) {
// user said no!
}
}
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(show_map, handle_error);
} else {
error('not supported');
}
When I run this with chrome I get "javascript alert 1" error. It is working on firefox.
Edit: I solve this problem by using html5 geolocation http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp
Type on address bar: chrome://settings/content
