Even though the native geolocation API is in almost every new browser, there are a lot of older browsers without this capability. This module uses the native API where available and falls back to an IP lookup when not possible. If the native API call fails, the IP lookup is done as a fallback. This module honors the user's request not to share information, so if the native API call fails because the user denied permission, it will not attempt the IP-based lookup.

}).use('gallery-geo', function(Y) {
 
    Y.Geo.getCurrentPosition(function(response){
 
        //check to see if it was successful
        if (response.success){
            console.log(response.coords.latitude);
            console.log(response.coords.longitude);
        }
