When you use geolocation data in your web applications, you unlock the ability to personalize and enhance the user experience in powerful ways. The example above demonstrates how to take the user's coordinates—latitude and longitude—from the Geolocation API and use them to display a static map image. This is just one of the many ways you can put geolocation data to work.

With coordinates, you can display maps centered on the user's position, as shown, but you can also use them to offer location-based content. For instance, you might show nearby stores, local weather, or regional news. You could customize product offerings, highlight local events, or even adjust language and currency settings based on the user's region. The key is that the latitude and longitude values serve as inputs for APIs or services—like mapping, weather, or content feeds—that tailor what the user sees to their real-world context. By referencing the map display logic in the example, you can see how easy it is to pass coordinates to a mapping service and immediately provide a visual, relevant result.
