I am wondering why geolocation slows down greatly when I add a map. If I simply have a page with click to locate it works pretty much instantly. If I add a map to the page and do nothing with it, it takes a while to get the first location, so surely it must slow down the watch.position feature? Maybe I have made an error with the code but getting no errors
The code for when I do not have a map showing on the page is
