How to do it
1. We created a really simple layout. Our page contains a static list that we want to populate with the latitude, longitude and location accuracy values of our visitors. First, let's add HTML5 Geo Location tracking on our page. Click the HTML5 Geo Location icon (2) from the insert menu (1).
2. Let's leave the default settings untouched for now. We just click the OK button.
3. Now, as the Geo Location tracking is enabled on our page, we open the HTML5 Data Bindings floating panel (2) and expand it (2). Here, you can find the geo location properties available as bindings.
4. Let's add the latitude binding on the page. We select the static text (1) that we want to replace with the latitude value, choose the latitude binding (2) and click insert (3).
5. We do the same with the rest of the geo location properties that we want to display on our page.
6. Now you can save your work and preview the results. As soon as you load the page into your browser a notification bar appears, asking you for permission to share your location.
7. As soon as you allow the page to use your location the latitude and longitude coordinates appear on your page. That's how easy it is to create a simple page that displays the location information of the visitors.
