This method returns the latitude and longitude of the user's position without taking any parameter as an argument.

In this example using position.coords, which is a read-only property, along with javascript's geolocation property, the latitude and longitude of the user's location is found out and the result is displayed in the output.

if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(getPos);

loc.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude +
" </br> Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
}
