I'm not sure where the problem lies, as for the page I am developing I can't remember giving a "no" to geospatial information, but through whatever means I have a Chrome installation that is acting on a refusal to share geospatial information.

How can I clear Chrome's memory that I at some point rejected permission to geospatial information? Will some form of "clear browser data" give me a fresh slate?

Thanks,

  • Click the Chrome menu Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.

  • Select Settings.

  • Click Show advanced settings.

  • In the "Privacy" section, click Content settings.

  • In the dialog that appears, scroll down to the "Location" section.

  • Click Manage exceptions.

Also be sure to check all other Privacy and Content settings for default behavior.

You can probably just change your setting by clicking the site icon:

If previous answers don't solve your problem, is possible you were using Chrome 50+ on a HTTP not secure domain. This article explains why Chrome fails while detecting geolocation and how to detect when this is happening: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/04/geolocation-on-secure-contexts-only

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(success) { /* Do some magic. */ },
  function(failure) {
    if(failure.message.indexOf("Only secure origins are allowed") == 0) {
      // Chrome 50+, no HTTP domain.
    }
  };
});
