I want to know that SSL certificate is necessary for use of geolocations ?

Question

i am working on live projects and I want to get users location using geolocation so I have tried all solutions but I have read somewhere that you must have SSL certificate for that is it true or another methods are available

Answer 1

I don't know if it's necessary, but a SSL certificate is always a good choice. On most webservers you can easily install a certificate from let's encrypt via a small program called certbot

Answer 2

on a webpage its probably true because its some kind of security from the browser but its not that hard to setup ssl
just check out:
