Get coordinates from folium.plugins.LocateControl

[allexstorm]

Hello. I have following code which adds locate me button on map to autozoom to user's device location.

map = folium.Map()
LocateControl(auto_start=True).add_to(map)
map.save("map.html")

Please advice how can I get coordinates of this location? I think there should be something on click locate me button event.
Thanks.

I checked the code of the plugin and the underlying leaflet control. I could not see an easy way to do this using the click event. However you could look at the mouse_position control. This will show the coordinates of the mouse over the map. You could use it to determine the location of the marker.

Hello.
I don't want mouse position control for now. I'm making app mainly using on phones and after clicking locate me button and auto zooming to user location I want marker to be set to it, so I need coordinates anyway for marker. I thought there should be elegant decision, I don't want to build bicycle.

In general Folium is just a thin layer over the underlying Leaflet library and plugins. If it cannot be done in the plugin, we will probably not add it. You are probably better off asking your question here: https://github.com/domoritz/leaflet-locatecontrol.

Okay, I'll get info from js and handle it in python folium, I hope it's possible.
