function getLocation() {
  if (navigator.geolocation) {
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
  } else { 
    x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
  }

Latitude: 13.8863984 Longitude: 77.44150069999999

Answer 1

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, you might want to use AJAX to send data to flask. This would be useful if you wanted to process the latitude and longitude data in flask and do something with it. Here is a link to another StackOverflow question which contains info on how to do this: How to send data to Flask via AJAX?

Use geocoder instead, it is realy simple.

import geocoder as gc
g = gc.ip('me') #ip is also accepted here
print(g.latlng)
