Geolocation API not working (Win7)

帖子 redfox »

It seems that html5 geolocation api is not working correctly or not installed, because it does not work on any site I have tried.

OS Windows 7 64bit

(It does not depend if the WinRT is enabled or disabled in Catsxp experiments, because this service is not supported on Windows 7 at all.)

For example:

https://mylocationnow.io/
Enable the geolocation for this site, then see the section "Browser Geolocation" and click the button "See your location". The site still complains that it is not allowed to see my location.

The same with google.com - the only working geolocation is from my IP.

Location by IP address works, but I mentioned the other option - browser (device) location by the API, which is below it on the mentioned page. You did not attach the correct screenshot.

See my attachment and FIX it, please. This function is very important, because the IP geolocation is very inaccurate.

This feature requires support from the underlying system kernel
Win7 is not supported, regardless of whether this feature is enabled or not

As a workaround, a custom geolocation profile in the Developer Tools can be used. You must however set it manually every time you want to use it, the settings is not permanent.

Admin, are there some news, regarding geolocation support in Catsxp under Windows 7?
The geolocation API is present in Catsxp, but does not support Windows 7.

The online test at https://www.gps-coordinates.net/my-location shows no results.

There is no relevant API for Windows 7. How can it be supported?

Supermium includes the geolocation API, working also for Win7. I don't know how they did it, but it works.
