That probably just means they are doing geolocation by IP instead of trying the HTML5 browser-based geolocation service first.

- glhaynes 15y agoIf they used HTML5 geolocation instead, they'd burden the user with an annoying authorization popup (at least on the browsers I use). edit: (The lesson, then, is to not do web geolocation unless it strongly enriches the usefulness of the site (map-related sites, etc) or your hand is forced. People rightly don't want their location freely-shared and people are rightly annoyed by location-sharing-confirmation popups.)
