In this lesson, we'll use Leaflet's map locate method to use the browser's API to find the visitor's current location and update the React Leaflet map to that location. We'll walk through what the locate method does, set an event handler to trigger when it locates, and use the accuracy and location data to add a circle to the map designating the area.
