Could anyone explain to me why when I allow HTML5 Geolocation Demos to use my location it always returns New York, however, when I go on my phone it shows my exact position? I am trying to implement a ‘current location’ function on my website, though I don’t know if it is possible.
Thank you
Your phone has a GPS radio that can narrow your location down to within ten or so meters. Your computer (generally) has no such capability. Your browser can use information like your IP address to get close to your actual location, but it can’t achieve anything like your phone’s precision.
