Locate the user | UNL Map JS Docs

Geolocate the user and then track their current location on the map using the GeolocateControl.

Note

If you want to test this example, edit it in JSFiddle or CodePen and replace the "YOUR-OWN-API-KEY" and "YOUR-OWN-VPM-ID" placeholders with your actual api key and vpm id.
