Consider JavaScript Geolocation API

[NotBobTheBuilder]

It would be awesome to have an alternative to the search box which uses window.navigator.geolocation to search for nearby places based on lat/longitude.

Would be particularly useful for mobile users, as it saves typing & gives relevant info. I'll look into it!

I never had anything in common with this API but sounds really useful. I'm really interested.

There's some pretty good descriptions & examples on mdn

[xando]

Oh wait, I know this one ;)

I thought that you meant this
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/geolocation/
though I'm not sure if Google's one is relevant to this case at all.

Awesome! I reckon the native one would be best - if we're just using the longitude and latitude then the Google one is probably overkill :)

[xando]

If you know how to put those blocks together, go for it. Mobile is not my
world, won't be interrupting, much.

I got a really hacky version running in NotBobTheBuilder/commitcoffee@ecac396, but the UX is nasty and the map zooms in too far. Didn't take much work to get going though! I'll tidy it up over the next few days.

[xando]

No worries, I will look at this some time in the next year ;)

First short comment we, I don't know how mobile handles it but we need to
consider also an use case when user says NO for geolocation.
