To fix the problem I’ll need to delete the block entry for.
I have blocked and from getting my location info. This is a bit confusing to understand too, but basically it lets you change how you want to share location information and lists sites you’ve allowed or blocked.
Click on the “>” arrow to the right of Location… It shows the default Location setting, but since you’re already seeing the message, odds are you accidentally marked Google Maps as one that should be blocked and prevented from seeing your location. Click to head into that area, and here’s what you’ll see: Much you can ignore, so just zoom down to where the entry is being highlighted: Content settings. Instead, go to Settings in your Chrome browser and search for “location”: In fact, it’s one of the more confusing help pages I’ve seen from Google. The Learn More link doesn’t really help you fix the problem, however. Let’s look at the situation where the browser is blocking your location data, since that’s one that’s pretty easy to fix. In that case, you might need to just disconnect and connect to a different wifi network to get it to work or fall back to using your smartphone for directions instead. I’ve also noticed that some wifi networks are set up in such a way that Google Maps just doesn’t seem to be able to figure out where I am, which is annoying if you’re busy plotting directions and similar. With a VPN, that’s exactly the effect you want, of course you’re using it to gain privacy online through a router elsewhere in the world. The former case happens if you’re using a public wifi that’s routing through a proxy server sometimes, or if you use a virtual private network (VPN). There are two possibilities for what’s going on with your Google Maps session: Either Google Maps genuinely can’t figure out where you are or you’ve blocked your browser from letting it query location information to analyze.
