Webodm: Feature Request: View Current Location

[Saijin-Naib]

What's your browser and operating system? (Copy/paste the output of https://www.whatismybrowser.com/)

Any modern HTML5 compliant browser (Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Safari)

What is the problem?

I would like to see the ability for WebODM to take advantage of modern browser Geolocation APIs to allow for instant locating of the current user using a button on the GUI, with similar UX to established norms.

Example image as per Henrick:

What should be the expected behavior?

I believe this could be a candidate for a smaller funding drive.

How can we reproduce this? (What steps did you do to trigger the problem? What parameters are you using for processing? Please include multiple screenshots of the problem! If possible please include a copy of your dataset uploaded on Google Drive or Dropbox. Be detailed)

this function must need https protocol not http.

This is a cool idea for a plugin; we'd welcome pull requests! Anyone interested?
