No specific import is needed for this component.

The Locate component animates the Map or Scene to the user's current location.

This component uses the browser's Geolocation API which is only available in secure contexts, such as HTTPS. Note that localhost is considered "potentially secure" and can be used for easy testing in browsers that support Window.isSecureContext.
