Basically, GMaps API can't do anything itself. It just doesn't have
any access to your devices.
All of the geolocation work is done by your browser, so you should
consider looking up your browser's documentation or asking it's
developers.

The documentation describes a quick and easy way to detect the users
location (if the browser supports it):
