Lost in geolocation

After unsuccessful efforts at trying to obtain my GPS location from a self-written PHP script, I moved to a more local JavaScript code.

When opened on my Android phone with a Chrome browser, I received an error Y0ZkNV.

Is there a way to resolve this without changing my hosting to an HTTPS platform?

My goal is to be able to access my current location on my phone's browser.

That's not an error. That's a link. Specifically, a link to https://goo.gl/Y0ZkNV.

Pay more attention.

Not if you want to do this from Javascript. But you should change to HTTPS regardless.

To do it from PHP, if you can accept that you will not get an accurate location, you look up the remote IP address in some geolocation database - MaxMind's, for instance.
