Get user's location

I was wondering if there was any way to get the user's real life location. I came up with the idea after thinking that I could use the Map class to display the user's location in the background of the scenario.

The only way would be to have the user input that information.

The Map class is a specialized List-type class where each element is a paired set (each pair is a combination of a key value with a related value). It, generally, has nothing to do with cartographic maps.

I meant the Map class you get when you select "Import Class" under "Edit" in the Greenfoot IDE toolbar at the top.

Sorry, my bad. I am still running v2.3 (USB version) which I am very happy with. Obviously, then, I do not have a Map class there; but, I was able to locate it as well as the Weather class to see what you were referring to. Again, the location of a user is "classified" information and cannot be accessed unless the user allows it. So, a map depicting the location of a user is just not ascertainable prior to any user input.
