Frequently asked questions
How do I change my geolocation permissions after testing?
Click the lock or site settings icon next to the URL in your browser address bar. From there, you can toggle location permissions to allow, block, or reset.
Does this geolocation test store my physical location?
No. The test executes entirely within your browser client. Your coordinates are never saved to our servers or shared with third parties.
What does the prompt permission state mean?
The prompt state indicates that your browser will ask for your consent before sharing your location coordinates when a request is made.
Why did the geolocation request fail even though I allowed it?
Failures often occur if your operating system has disabled location services, your device lacks GPS or network location signals, or the connection timed out.
Is this browser geolocation test free to use?
Yes, the tool is completely free with no registration or software installation required.
