I don't use template nodes myself, but you could try to create a code snippet similar to [this](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-show-modal-dialog-in-template-node/611/5) one:

```auto
<md-button class="md-raised" ng-click="clicked(); sendMsg(msg)"

function sendMsg(msg) {
   if (navigator.geolocation) {
      var position = navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition();
      msg.latitude = position.coords.latitude;
      msg.longitude = position.coords.longitude;
      $scope.send(msg);
   } 
   else {
      alert("Geolocation is not supported by this browser.");
   }
}

```

Caution: I haven't tested this code !!!
