LocateControl

Adds a control button that when clicked, the user device geolocation is displayed. For list of all possible keyword options see 'Possible options' on https://github.com/domoritz/leaflet-locatecontrol.

To work properly in production, the connection needs to be encrypted (HTTPS), otherwise the browser will not allow users to share their location.

# If you want get the user device position after load the map, set auto_start=True
folium.plugins.LocateControl(auto_start=False).add_to(m)
