I'm trying to add geolocation functionality to the Multi Location Widget so that a user sees the closest store location to their area based on their location settings. I'm very new to Duda. So any simple walkthrough would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

    The multi location content widget will automatically support the visitor in finding the closest location to them if they have location services enabled on their device or browser. I just did a test on this capability and it worked perfectly. Simply click the 'Find Nearest Location' button to execute the lookup once you have your locations added.

    Thanks Thomas!

    Is there a way to have it default to show the nearest location without the use of the button? Just wondering if that is possible and what code would need to be added for location lookup based on a user allowing location permissions.

    Not that I'm aware of John. I believe it waits for the input from the user. Someone else may have a solution though. It's a good question and I agree that defaulting to the user's location in the browser to run an initial or automatic search would be a nice option.
