GeolocationAPI: Your Digital Compass 🌍

This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, One Byte Explainer: Browser API or Feature.

Explainer

The Geolocation API enables web apps to access user location with their permission, vital for location-based services like maps or weather apps. It respects user privacy by prompting for consent before retrieving location data.

Additional Context

Geolocation API works by leveraging a device's GPS, Wi-Fi, or cellular data to determine the user's location, and it's widely supported across modern web browsers.
