Geolocation

The geolocation control lets you set the map to wherever your users are, if they give permission. This requires HTTPS, but Mapster also ships with a less-accurate geolocation using IP if you don’t want to have to ask users for permission.

There are quite a few options for the geolocator, including:

• Setting the user location on map load
• Turning on high-accuracy location (most effective in mobile)
• Showing an accuracy circle
• Show the direction the user is pointing (user heading)
• Move the map with the user (user tracking)

There is also an option to use geolocation by IP, but this requires your website to accept http requests since it uses a free tier of IP-API.com.
