The Geolocate component allows your user to identify their precise location on the map, in real-time.
An example of how geolocation can be useful is that it can help professionals in the field accurately record and tag data to specific locations.
By default, Geolocate is turned off. The user must click the Geolocate icon to turn it on. The map then moves to the their current location and stays on until they turn it off.
If the browser's location services are turned off, a pop-up appears to request access your location.
