Ubicación geográfica: cómo mostrar la posición de un usuario o un dispositivo en Maps
Organiza tus páginas con colecciones Guarda y categoriza el contenido según tus preferencias.
Descripción general
En este instructivo, se muestra cómo mostrar la ubicación geográfica de un dispositivo en un mapa de Google con la función de ubicación geográfica HTML5 de tu navegador y la API de Maps JavaScript. La ubicación geográfica solo se mostrará si el usuario permitió compartir su ubicación.
Cuando el usuario active la solicitud de ubicación geográfica, recibirá un mensaje del navegador para que otorgue su consentimiento para acceder a los datos de ubicación del dispositivo. Si la solicitud falla, es posible que se deban rechazar los permisos de ubicación o que el dispositivo no pueda determinar su ubicación. Esta función solo está disponible en contextos seguros (HTTPS), en algunos o todos los navegadores compatibles.
A continuación, se muestra un mapa que puede identificar la ubicación actual del dispositivo del usuario.
En el siguiente ejemplo, se muestra el código completo que necesitas para crear este mapa.

La ubicación geográfica permite identificar dónde se encuentran un usuario o un dispositivo mediante diferentes mecanismos de recopilación de datos. Por lo general, la mayoría de los servicios de ubicación geográfica usan direcciones de enrutamiento de red o chips GPS internos para determinar la ubicación. La API de Geolocation es específica según el dispositivo. Esto significa que los navegadores o dispositivos deben admitir la ubicación geográfica para poder usarla a través de aplicaciones web.
Estándar de ubicación geográfica de W3C
Las aplicaciones que deseen realizar ubicaciones geográficas deben admitir el estándar de ubicación geográfica de W3C. Ten en cuenta que el código de muestra anterior determina la ubicación del dispositivo a través de la API de navigator.geolocation de W3C.
A veces, los sitios web usan direcciones IP para detectar la ubicación de un dispositivo. Sin embargo, esto solo puede proporcionar una estimación aproximada de esa ubicación. Las APIs estándar del W3C son las más admitidas y precisas, por lo que se deben priorizar ante otros métodos de ubicación geográfica.

Typically, most geolocation services use network\nrouting addresses or internal GPS chips to determine this location. Geolocation is a\ndevice-specific API. This means that browsers or devices must support geolocation in order to use\nit through web applications.\n\nW3C Geolocation standard\n\nApplications that want to perform geolocation must support the\n[W3C Geolocation standard](http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html). Notice that the\nsample code above determines the device's location through the W3C\n`navigator.geolocation` API.\n\nSometimes websites use IP addresses to detect the location of a device, however this may only provide a\nrough estimate of that location. W3C-standard APIs are the most fully-supported and most accurate, so they should be\nprioritized over other geolocation methods."]]
