Go through my previous blogs related to google map Part-12 before using this.

 

Steps To Be Followe,

Step1

Create a controller action method named "GPS()".

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace SatyaGoogleMapBootstrapMVC.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult GPS()
        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}

Create a view named "GPS.cshtml".

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Satyaprakash Goolge Map Gps Locator";
}

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>

        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (p) {
            var LatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(p.coords.latitude, p.coords.longitude);
            var mapOptions = {
                center: LatLng,
                zoom: 13,
                mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
            };
            var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("dvMap"), mapOptions);
            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: LatLng,
                map: map,
                title: "<div style='font-size:large; font-family: Arial Black; background-color:yellow; color:blue; text-align: center'>Your Current Location Coordinates:<br />Latitude: " + p.coords.latitude + "<br />Longitude: " + p.coords.longitude
            });
            google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function (e) {
                //Using InfoWindow....
                var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
                infoWindow.setContent(marker.title);
                infoWindow.open(map, marker);
                //Using BootBox....
                var msg = marker.title;
                bootbox.alert(msg);
            });
        });
    } else {
        alert('Geo Location feature is not supported in this browser.');
    }
</script>

<div id="dvMap">

    <p style="background-color: Yellow; font-weight: bold; color:blue; text-align: center; font-style: oblique">© @DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime()</p> @*Add Date Time*@
</footer>

 I wrote code for my current location.

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (p) {
            var LatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(p.coords.latitude, p.coords.longitude);
            var mapOptions = {
                center: LatLng,
                zoom: 13,
                mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
            };

 Then i configure the marker and pass div id of map.

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("dvMap"), mapOptions);
            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: LatLng,
                map: map,
                title: "<div style='font-size:large; font-family: Arial Black; background-color:yellow; color:blue; text-align: center'>Your Current Location Coordinates:<br />Latitude: " + p.coords.latitude + "<br />Longitude: " + p.coords.longitude
            });

Then on click event of marker the current location coordinates will show using Info Window and BootBox Alert PopUp.

 

Using InfoWindow....

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function (e) {
                //Using InfoWindow....
                var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
                infoWindow.setContent(marker.title);
                infoWindow.open(map, marker);
});

 Using BootBox....

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function (e) {
                //Using BootBox....
                var msg = marker.title;
                bootbox.alert(msg);
            });

 If location not found then warning message will come.

 if (navigator.geolocation) {
//If Valid Geo Location there....
}

else {
        alert('Geo Location feature is not supported in this browser.');
    }

 

I added BootBox Script File.

<script src="bootbox.min.js"></script>

 I added this zip file of "bootbox.min.js".
