I have a page show customer location on map and he can drage the marker to be more accurate and the GPS coordinates displayed at the top of page as well.
the question is , in sometimes , the location can not be detected for some reason, how i can set default location just in case the actual location didn't appear.
let's say we want to make the default location is : 25.074217,55.510044 only in case of current location didn't loaded successfully
this is the code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<br />
Copy this number and past it in GPS field
<br />
<br />
<input id="divLat" type="text" />
<br />
<br />
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 600px; height: 600px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var marker;
function initialize() {
var lat;
var lon;
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (location) {
lat = location.coords.latitude;
lon = location.coords.longitude;
var city = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 15,
center: city,
mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
var image = "icon.png";
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: city,
map: map,
draggable: true,
icon: image
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'position_changed', function (event) {
update();
});
update();
}, function (positionError) {
alert("getCurrentPosition failed: " + positionError.message);
}, { enableHighAccuracy: true });
};
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initialize);
function update() {
var lonlan = marker.getPosition();
var divLat = document.getElementById ("divLat");
divLat.value = lonlan.lat ()+","+lonlan.lng ();
}
</script>
<script async defer
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDfpx62iYkjhpz0J-vu4Zz96vtWE2TFzQs&signed_in=true&callback=initMap"></script>
</body>

Simplest thing to do: initialize the map to the default location, then let the geolocation reset the position if it is enabled.
