How to update map marker with current location on the map

[jlariza]

Good day,

We are using the library with this configuration

LOCATION_FIELD = {
    "map.provider": "openstreetmap",
    "search.provider": "nominatim",
}

The model is using a PlainLocationField.

We need to allow the users to use their current location in the map. For this, we implemented this little script

  function getLocation() {
    if ("geolocation" in navigator) {
      navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition, error);
    } else {
      $("#location-message").show()
    }
  }
  function showPosition(position) {
    $("#id_location").val(position.coords.latitude + "," + position.coords.longitude)
  }
  function error(err) {
    $("#location-message").show()
  }

it is working fine, the latitude and longitude is automatically updated; however, the marker is not. How may we force the marker to move to the new coordinates?

We tried editing the coordinates directly and it is not working either; it seems that the marker updates the coordinates field but it does not work in the other way.

Thank you,
