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 Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to location-service in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375896 Title: location not working reliably in browser or webapps Status in Web Browser App: New Status in “location-service” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: krillin build 72 - I have not wiped my phone in quite a while but instead have been doing OTA updates - I manually re-ran the setup wizard to ensure the HERE location stuff was enabled, which it is - reboot the phone I launch Google Maps webapp and it tells me "Your location could not be determined".
