# GPS Coordinate Finder
A simple web app for interactively finding and copying latitude/longitude coordinates on a map. Built with Leaflet.js and OpenStreetMap tiles. No backend required.
## Features
- 🌍 Interactive map with draggable marker
- 📍 Auto-locate your device (with browser geolocation)
- 🖱️ Copy coordinates with one click
- 🗺️ Uses OpenStreetMap tiles (no API key needed)
- ⚡ Fast, responsive, and works offline after first load
## Usage
1. **Download or clone this repository.**
2. Make sure you have Python installed (for running a local server).
3. Open a terminal in the project directory and run:
```sh
python -m http.server 8000
```
4. Open your browser and go to:
[http://localhost:8000/index.html](http://localhost:8000/index.html)
## How It Works
- Drag the marker or move the map to update the coordinates.
- Click the "Copy" button to copy the current coordinates to your clipboard.
- If your browser allows, the map will attempt to center on your current location.
## Troubleshooting
- **Geolocation errors:**
- If you see a geolocation error, make sure your browser allows location access and you're using HTTPS or localhost.
- Some browsers block geolocation on plain HTTP (except for localhost).
- **Map tile errors (400 Bad Request):**
- This app uses zoom levels supported by OpenStreetMap (up to 19). If you see tile errors, refresh or zoom out.
- **Copy button not working:**
- Clipboard access may require HTTPS or user interaction in some browsers.
## Customization
- To change the default map center, edit the marker's initial coordinates in the HTML file.
- You can style the map and panel by editing the CSS in the `` block.
## Publishing on Netlify
To make your map publicly accessible, you can deploy it for free using Netlify:
### 1. Rename Your HTML File
- use`index.html` for the map file
- Make sure all resources (CSS, JS, images) are referenced with relative paths.
### 2. Prepare Your Project Folder
- Your folder should look like:
```
/projects
├─ index.html
├─ README.md
└─ (any other assets)
```
### 3. Deploy to Netlify
- Go to [Netlify Drop](https://app.netlify.com/drop).
- Drag and drop your project folder (containing `index.html`) into the window.
- Netlify will provide a public URL instantly.
**Optional: Continuous Deployment**
- Push your folder to GitHub.
- On Netlify, click "Add new site" > "Import an existing project" and connect your repo.
- Every push to your repo will auto-deploy your site.

## Wix integration
```
// in your PAGE code (not Section code)
import { getCurrentGeolocation } from 'wix-window';
$w.onReady(() => {
const htmlComp = $w('#html1');
// Request a high-accuracy GPS fix in the secure parent context
getCurrentGeolocation({ enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: 10000 })
.then(({ coords }) => {
// Send the coords into the iframe
htmlComp.postMessage({ coords }, '*');
})
.catch(err => {
console.warn('Geolocation error or denied:', err);
// Fallback to manual mode
htmlComp.postMessage({ coords: null }, '*');
});
});
```
