I'm trying to put a Google map in my page and make it so that when the page loads the map will display exactly the location of the user. In order to do so, I've taken the google maps API code and inserted it into my HTML5 page. At first the browser did ask for permission to share my location but it isn't actually showing this location on the map; I've tried with two or more combinations of functions but it is still not working.... please, I need help! If anyone can tell me what is wrong with the code please do:
