Geolocation Prompt only on demand?

Hi @delanet,

Thank you for getting in touch, we do appreciate your time.

If you are only allowing users to use their location as a starting point for a search, the behavior you have mentioned is default. Meaning, we will only request the users location when they click on the “use my location” button.

Alternatively, if you are also showing the users location on the map, this is done when the map loads, which means we request the user location early. The same is true for distance related features. Unfortunately, those cannot be changed at the moment.

So what option should I change to get rid off geolocation prompt on page load?

I already tried to disable “Show distance from search”, “Allow users to use their location as the starting point”, “Enable Directions”, “Jump to nearest marker on initialization?”, and “Show User’s Location?” but browsers still keeps prompting for geolocation permission as I load the page.

Hi @delanet,

In order to say exactly which feature is triggering the prompt, please share a link to your site (map page) so that I can have a look.

It’s possible another feature is enabled, which relies on the user location, but testing would be required.

Since the site is not yet public, I unfortunately cannot publish the page address here. Can I send it to you via another method? We have purchased the Pro version.

Hi @delanet,

Not a problem at all, I completely understand. You can reach out to us on our website – Where an email support ticket will be opened so that we can discuss things further in private.

Feel free to mention this thread or my name in your message so that the ticket is automatically assigned to me.

Once I hear from you, I can debug and assist you further. ??
