Glira, see this code that uses the geolocation API: https://code.sololearn.com/WQ1CCC09Ehsl/?ref=app As an alternative, use the IP API(less accurate, but does not require user authentication) here: http://ip-api.com/json

Location is all about longitude and latitude, and therefore if u have someone's latitude and longitude then you got a location of that some one. To get someone's location use the "navigator.geolocation" class. More info. https://www.dummies.com/web-design-development/javascript/how-to-use-geolocation-when-coding-with-javascript/ After obtaining the latitude and longitude, then use any online map like Google map, open street map and pass the latitude and longitude as parameters to see visual (GUI) map Let me know if it helped. thanx
