Expand metadata in space - Geolocation coords support request about templater HOT 3 OPEN

If the documentation around accessing the GPS location within Obsidian using the map view plugin is still up to date, then Obsidian does not support accessing device location. Map view offers a workaround using a helper app. I would consider such approaches out of scope for Templater. However, I would assume you should be able to access Map View functions from within Templater scripts, as long as the desired functionality is provided as an Obsidian command. Have you tried that?

In case it isn't clear on how to execute an Obsidian command.

You can get a list of the command IDs by opening the dev console (CMD Shift I) and typing app.commands.commands into the console.

This example will run the “Daily notes: Open today’s daily note” command.

<%*
app.commands.executeCommandById("daily-notes");
%>

I checked official document. It seems there's no way for add-ons to get geolocation or ask for it. And, yeah, access outside API is to much for templater.

May we could model obsidian leaflet's way? Let user input coords manually, most people don't change location frequently. But I'm not sure if it's worthy, too much input box looks messing.

And, apparently, user script can do this.
