Geolocation Error in Google Chrome


This happened to me too, spent 30 minz trying to find a solution only to then try restarting


Everyone in my workplace is currently experiencing this issue on both our own code and the Google Maps API examples.

It seems that periodically Google's network location provider service is unavailable, causing all devices that can't determine location from other means (GPS or Cell tower triangulation) will fail.

Honestly this seems like a really flimsy implementation - why isn't there a fallback network location provider for chrome?


I know the subject contains Google Chrome, but this error:

Network location provider at 'https://www.googleapis.com/' : No response received.

happens also on Chromium, version 70.0.3538.67 (Developer Build) (64-bit) (macOS, High Sierra).

Maybe this https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=820945&can=2&start=0&num=100&q=geolocation&colspec=ID is related.
