It seems you now do not need to reverse geocode and now get the address directly from ClientLocation   google loader ClientLocation address city

A bit late but I got something similar that I m busy building and here is the code to get current location - be sure to use local server to test   Include relevant scripts from CDN        lt script type  text javascript  src  https   maps googleapis com maps api js key YOUR API KEY amp signed in true amp callback initMap  gt    HTML   lt div id  map  gt  lt  div gt    CSS  html  body       height  100       margin  0      padding  0     map       height  100       JS  var map   new google maps Map document getElementById  map          center   lat  -34 397  lng  150 644       zoom  6     var infoWindow   new google maps InfoWindow  map  map        Try HTML5 geolocation  if  navigator geolocation        navigator geolocation getCurrentPosition function position            var pos                 lat  position coords latitude              lng  position coords longitude                     infoWindow setPosition pos           infoWindow setContent  Location found             map setCenter pos          function             handleLocationError true  infoWindow  map getCenter               else          Browser doesn t support Geolocation     handleLocationError false  infoWindow  map getCenter        function handleLocationError browserHasGeolocation  infoWindow  pos        infoWindow setPosition pos       infoWindow setContent browserHasGeolocation                              Error  The Geolocation service failed                                Error  Your browser doesn  t support geolocation         DEMO  https   jsfiddle net ToreanJoel 4ythpy02

I couldn t get the above code to work   Google does a great explanation though here   http   code google com apis maps documentation javascript basics html DetectingUserLocation  Where they first use the W3C Geolocation method and then offer the Google gears fallback method for older browsers   The example is here   http   code google com apis maps documentation javascript examples map-geolocation html

No need to do your own implementation  I can recommend using geolocationmarker from google-maps-utility-library-v3
