I had a look at OSMtouch’s code, and this message indicates that the app failed to get a position fix from the location service, and fell back to GeoIP, which does a simple query to http://geoip.ubuntu.com/lookup (and thus doesn’t go through the location service at all). See http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~yohanboniface/osmtouch/trunk/view/head:/OSMTouch.qml#L50 and http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~yohanboniface/osmtouch/trunk/view/head:/models/GeoIPModel.qml. At least this indicates that getting a position from the location service fails both in OSMTouch and in oxide. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375896 Title: location not working reliably in browser or webapps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app/+bug/1375896/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
