Thanku for help
def getLocation():
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream")
timeout = 20
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'/usr/bin/chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://mycurrentlocation.net/")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, timeout)
longitude = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="longitude"]')
longitude = [x.text for x in longitude]
longitude = str(longitude[0])
latitude = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="latitude"]')
latitude = [x.text for x in latitude]
latitude = str(latitude[0])
driver.quit()
return (latitude,longitude)
print(getLocation())

(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
