I think its very clear for you..

Call your getlocation() method inside the click event..

Working fiddle

Code

$( "#bind" ).click(function() {
   $(this).attr("disabled", "disabled");
   $("#unbind").removeAttr("disabled");
});
$( "#unbind" ).click(function() {
     $(this).attr("disabled", "disabled");
     $("#bind").removeAttr("disabled");
});

Output
