Fix geolocation on iOS Safari: explicit button + error feedback

Browse source 
Replace silent on-load getCurrentPosition with an opt-in button on
step 1. iOS Safari requires a user gesture for the permission prompt
to appear; calling it on page load suppresses the dialog. The button
triggers the request on tap, shows "Getting location…" while waiting,
and surfaces permission-denied / timeout errors with clear messages.
