GPS location #445

How to use geocoder to track live location? I am creating an application to track my current location.

I have used the below code but it's not tracking my location .

import geocoder

g = geocoder.ip("me") props = g.geojson["features"][0]["properties"] lat = props["lat"] lon = props["lng"] print(lat, lon)

Please help

You example works for me. This geocoding service uses the incoming IP address which doesn't change if internet access is provided by a mobile phone or a 4G hotspot.

IP address is not an accurate signal to use for location tracking. Better try your luck with a wifi based positioning system or just use a device with a gps.
