From what I have read it seems you need to have geolocation turned on in your browser and iphone.
Have I been hiding under a tinfoil hat for so long that I am completely out of touch with the world? Do most HN readers have these on by default?

- nickbarnwell 15y agoFirefox gives me a prompt like [1] on every site that uses HTML5 Geolocation APIs. My iPhone and Windows Phone do the same. [1] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9061771/Screenshots/yebr_5sj_2ik.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9061771/Screenshots/yebr_5sj_2ik.png
- kennywinker 15y agoI just tried with geolocation on my phone, and off in my browser, and it worked perfectly. I tend to pick and choose on an app-by-app basis.
- Gmo 15y agoSame here, I tend to stay away from geolocation as often as possible (obvious exception is google maps on my phone)
- woodall 15y agoWith an IP address(I doubt most people surf with TOR all the time), system time(Comparing time-zone data), language settings, and the myriad of other data given away a person can get ~close enough~. Even then, if you don't want to use the app don't allow it to send/recieve GeoData easy enough.
