Hi There,
[code]function GetLocation() { navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(callback); } function callback(position) { GoogleAPI = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=" + position.coords.latitude + "," + position.coords.longitude + "&key=YOUR API KEY HERE"; //Fetching City Name $.getJSON(GoogleAPI, function (json) { if (Wcity == undefined) { Wcity = json.results[0].address_components[3].short_name; alert(Wcity); } }[/code]
Please note that, in most of the cases Google map throws city name on ".address_components[3]" however you can change it to index ".address_components[2]" as well and trick with the results.
Happy Coding :)
Before moving ahead please make sure you have a valid Google API key otherwise after few hits to google service it will throw a daily limit exceed exception in your ajax call. You need a Server API Key for this not Browser API Key from Google.
You need to include below references in your HTML code first.
