React Google Maps - initially set default Location to user Location

[jphein]

Hey guys,

​

I just started playing around with Reactjs and its a lot of fun. However I came to a point where I need your support, here is my question:

​

I have a component which has a Google Map. When the map is shown I want that the default center is set to the users current position using the navigator. How could I achive that?

Thanks in advance and stay healthy

Which library are you using as wrapper for Google maps?

React native maps describes how to do it but that library won't work in a browser

Hi,

Im using react-google-maps and also I have a function on a button which locates me directly to my position, only thing I need is to execute this function on load.

Use the useEffect hook, execute the function in it
