I am trying to make it so when a truck driver presses a button when he starts for the day, i can see what his location is at that very moment so i know where my drivers are starting from.
I am trying to get it when someone gives acces to their location you can get a straight adress out of it as a variable. it just needs to be city and a country.
like this: Nottingham, NG1 1AJ, UK
Here the link as an example: https://www.mapdevelopers.com/what-is-my-address.php
i can only find reverse geocoding where it just shows the location on the map.
below code uses reverse geocoding but gets an adress on a map.
i am trying to get it as a variable output to show in an app.
Thanks for the help!
