detect location using broswer geolocation features
o detect a user's location using the browser's geolocation feature and populate text boxes with location data, you can utilize the browser’s built-in geolocation API in conjunction with a free geocoding service to convert latitude and longitude into human-readable addresses. Here’s a streamlined approach using OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim API for reverse geocoding, which doesn't require an API key.
Step-by-Step Implementation
1. Create the ASP.NET MVC Project
Assuming you have an ASP.NET MVC project set up, you'll need to create a controller and a view.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// Check if geolocation is supported
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var lat = position.coords.latitude;
var lon = position.coords.longitude;
$.ajax({
url: `https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?lat=${lat}&lon=${lon}&format=json`,
method: 'GET',
success: function(data) {
if (data && data.address) {
var address = data.address;
