Can't use geolocation in my local html

I am trying to use geolocation in my local HTML file. But it looks like, navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition only works with https. I don't know how could I use it in my local HTML file for learning.

A quick solution would be to use a tunneling service like ngrok. Running ngrok http 12345 with 12345 being your local server port will spin up a tunnel and give you the URL you need to access the tunnelled version of your webserver. ngrok offers both HTTP and HTTPS.

It seems that chrome has security restrictions on accessing geolocation data locally. You need to host the file to use the data..
