I would suggest you wrapping it in a promise:

function getPosition() {
    // Simple wrapper
    return new Promise((res, rej) => {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(res, rej);
    });
}

async function main() {
    var position = await getPosition();  // wait for getPosition to complete
    console.log(position);
}

main();

ES6 version:

function getPosition() {
    // Simple wrapper
    return new Promise((res, rej) => {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(res, rej);
    });
}

function main() {
    getPosition().then(console.log); // wait for getPosition to complete
}

main();
