check if location setting has been turned off in users browser


Have you read http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp

What you want to do is check the errors to see if they allowed it or denied the request.

function getLocation() {  if (navigator.geolocation) {    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition,showError);  } else {    x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";  }}function showPosition(position) {  x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;    }function showError(error) {  switch(error.code) {    case error.PERMISSION_DENIED:      x.innerHTML = "User denied the request for Geolocation."      break;    case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:      x.innerHTML = "Location information is unavailable."      break;    case error.TIMEOUT:      x.innerHTML = "The request to get user location timed out."      break;    case error.UNKNOWN_ERROR:      x.innerHTML = "An unknown error occurred."      break;  }}


The below code will allow you to check the permission status without invoking the navigator.geolocation permission request.

Browsers Supported: Chrome(43+), Firefox(46+), Edge and Opera.

Unsupported: Safari(mac, ios), Internet explorer, Android webview.

    navigator.permissions && navigator.permissions.query({name: 'geolocation'})    .then(function(PermissionStatus) {        if (PermissionStatus.state == 'granted') {              //allowed        } else if (PermissionStatus.state == 'prompt') {              // prompt - not yet grated or denied        } else {             //denied        }    })
