Site doesnt work unless you give it location access.
- modeless 7y agoIt should fall back to IP geolocation, but you really need to know at least a general location to get accurate times.
- rolltiide 7y agowhat is the default using when I'm using my desktop? My Wifi SSID and creepy pre-sharing to databases that I did inadvertently?
- modeless 7y agoThe default is the HTML geolocation API, as implemented by your web browser.
- amatecha 7y agoThat's correct - it used IP geolocation for me as my browser is configured to auto-reject Location API requests. :)
- stunt 7y agoIf you choose to not share your location, it will ask you to enter an address and it doesn't have to be a full address. Just city name is enough.

- lucb1e 7y agoMy browser is too simple to support location pop up dialogs (it's some lightweight webview wrapper from f-droid with a workflow that I like), I figured it wouldn't work but after a few seconds it fell back to IP based geolocation. Very happily surprised :) And like someone else already said, street view works fine with a coarse location like a city name, so long as the name is unique and you don't end up in another country.
