How Does My Location Work?
My Location uses the Geolocation technology that is built-in with your browser which has access to your current location. Geolocation will find your location using latitude and longitude which are the precise location of a point on earth.
To use my location tool, we need to get your permission to use the geolocation.
Upon visiting our site, your browser will prompt a message "my-location.org wants to know your location", simply select "Allow" to give us permission.
In order for you to get your location now and be able to see the lat long, address, and the map correctly, you need to enable the location on your browser. If you are on a smartphone, you will also need to enable the location feature. Otherwise, what's my location tool wouldn't be able to find your current location.
For privacy reasons, we do not store your location on our website and do not share your location with anyone. Your location will be lost once you leave our site.
What Can I do With My Location?
There are many ways that you can use my current location tool. Following are a few scenarios where our tool comes in handy.
- When you are lost - If you are lost and can't find your way out. You have no idea where you are and want to get out of there as quickly as possible. With my location tool, you can find the exact address as well as the lat long, plus you can see the map of the current location. With the help of the map, you can navigate through the area and get out sooner.
