Another geolocation episode!
In previous episodes we learnt to get COORDINATES based on address, and place coordinates on a map.
Now, we will learn to get a users' accurate geolocation based on browser Geolocation API. It is supported by any browser!
We will integrate Geolocation into a Rails app with StimulusJS.

Warning! Asking for access to the location on page load will result in most of your users rejecting access.

P.S. what do you think about my new setup 🌜? That's actually the reason I did the few previous episodes without showing face 🌝
