# User Location

### About User Location <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

It is fairly imperfect as it only uses the user IP using a free service to set the rough user location, and can easily be wrong or misled by unusual IPs. There are also technical restrictions (the free IP checker service won't work on HTTPS sites).

For best results for opening the map on the user location, look at the [Geolocation Control](/maps/controls/geocoding-and-geolocation.md).

### Manual Zoom

Adjust the zoom level of the map.

### Manual Pitch

You can still adjust the pitch, or angle, of the map.

### Manual Rotation

Adjust the bearing, or heading, or rotation, of the map.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wpmaps-docs.mapster.me/maps/initial-view/user-location.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
