Thank You Yohan

If you add a reference to jQuery in your project, you should then be able to add the following Javascript code to your view. This will then post to your controller with the long and lat. That is the only way you will be able to get the GeoLocation in your controller.

NOTE: This code hasn't been tested! I just wrote it quickly from memory.

// Get the coordinates
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(show_map);

function show_map(position) {
  var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
  var longitude = position.coords.longitude;

  // post to your controller
  var url = "/Home/Index?latitude=" + latitude + "&longtitude=" + longitude; 
  $.post(url, function(data) {
  });
}

You will also need to add the parameters "latitude" and "longtitude" to your controller.

  public ActionResult Index(string latitude, string longtitude)
  {

  }
