IE10 geolocation fails: current position could not be determined
Hi. Running Win 7 Professional 32bit machine. I have up-to-date versions of IE10, Firefox and Chrome.
If I go to HTML5 Demo: geolocation using Firefox and Chrome and confirm that I want to share my location, both browsers successfully show the map.
IE10, however, fails. The failure is immediate. This also occurs on my colleague's machine too running a Win 7 Professional 64bit machine. It's not only on this site either. I only noticed it wasn't working because I'm coding a Javascript geolocation service and, while checking cross-browser compatibility, it failed on that too. The error is "current position could not be determined'.
I've checked the IE options, taken it in and out of protected mode, and ensured that "Never allow websites to request your physical location" is unchecked, but it still won't work. There don't appear to be any issues raised anywhere else on the internet, so I'm assuming this is an isolated incident, which makes it more of a problem I suppose. Is there something I'm missing?
cheers, and TIA.
