[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["This functionality retrieves the user's current location using the browser's geolocation. It utilizes `ui.util.getCurrentPosition(success, error)`. The `success` argument, a function, receives a `ee.Geometry.Point` object representing the location. An optional `error` argument, also a function, handles potential errors, receiving an error message as input. The function doesn't explicitly return any value but rather communicates the location or an error via callback functions.\n"]]
