Hi Remy
Unfortunately the geolocation function in Maps Premium only works for getting directions – ie. when the user clicks on a Get Directions button in an infobox (assuming it is switched on in your settings), it will determine his location and provide directions to that marker.
With regards to your second question – unfortunately this functionality isn’t possible in Hero Maps.
Kind regards

Hi,
I managed to add a button to geolocate users to your maps by adding this code to frontend_script.js
This goes at the end of function hmapsprem_inject_map
var geolocateControlDiv = document.createElement('div');
var geolocateControl = new GeolocateControl(geolocateControlDiv, google_map);
geolocateControlDiv.index = 1;
google_map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_CENTER].push(geolocateControlDiv);
And add also this function
function GeolocateControl(controlDiv, map) {
// Set CSS for the control border.
var controlUI = document.createElement('div');
controlUI.style.backgroundColor = '#fff';
controlUI.style.border = '2px solid #fff';
controlUI.style.borderRadius = '3px';
controlUI.style.boxShadow = '0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,.3)';
controlUI.style.cursor = 'pointer';
controlUI.style.marginBottom = '22px';
controlUI.style.Top = '10px';
controlUI.style.textAlign = 'center';
controlUI.title = 'Click to recenter the map';
controlDiv.appendChild(controlUI);
// Set CSS for the control interior.
var controlText = document.createElement('div');
controlText.style.color = 'rgb(25,25,25)';
controlText.style.fontFamily = 'Roboto,Arial,sans-serif';
controlText.style.fontSize = '16px';
controlText.style.lineHeight = '38px';
controlText.style.paddingLeft = '5px';
controlText.style.paddingRight = '5px';
controlText.innerHTML = 'Geolocation';
controlUI.appendChild(controlText);
// Setup the click event listeners
controlUI.addEventListener('click', function() {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var pos = {
lat: position.coords.latitude,
lng: position.coords.longitude
};
map.setCenter(pos);
map.setZoom(17);
}, function() {
handleLocationError(true, infoWindow, map.getCenter());
});
});
}
Hi Remy
Thanks for sending this to us. I’m forwarding this to our Maps dev – I’ll put in a suggestion to have this implemented in a future build of Maps as well.
Could I ask you to send us a support ticket at http://heroplugins.com/support as well – I have one or two questions I would like to address with regards to this as well.
Kind regards
Jaydon
