"An error occurred while determining your location: User denied Geolocation" Error Message

[Greg43545]

I attempted to do a GMRS repeater search for my area.

I provided the required information and then an orange/red error box appeared with the following message: 

An error occurred while determining your location: User denied Geolocation    

I then attempted an advance search with the same results as above.

I attempted to locate on the website how to correct this, but was unable to find it.

Can someone please provide the information on how to correct this?

Have you enabled access to your location from your web-browser/computer?

Are you using the browser on your phone, Tapatalk, or a browser on your computer?  In every case you must (as @OffRoaderX pointed out above) enable your device to provide your location to whatever app is expecting a location. 
If you’re using an iPhone I can show you where that is in Settings. It’s under Privacy Settings, then Location, and then pick the app and enable it at the level you feel comfortable with. I select “while using“ usually.

And if you are using a Mac, it is in pretty much the same place.

I have done a search before, but I prefer just opening the map on this site, zooming in to my "area" and looking at repeaters around me. I look at the green halo range and if it's close enough I enter the tones for the repeaters and try them. That's just my prefered method. Also I do this for travel. If I know I am going on a trip and plan my route, I look at repeaters along that route and get them programmed.

This is a very good alternate method in the event that the OP cannot figure out how to fix the settings on his device.

My method as well for repeaters possibly in range of the areas I'll be off road trail or logging/forest road tripping.  With a pile of memories on the RA87, easy enough to do!

This is the fastest for me and it allows me to see past just the one mediate area the search will return.   But alas…most people these days can’t read a map.

"Location" as far as any website is tied to where your ISP says you are. For me, it's 60 miles East of here where the ISP has their gateway. Add to that, Apple "thinks" my M1 is somewhere in Southern California. Allowing Location on your devices is a crap shoot. If it works for you then you win. If you don't favor the idea of being tracked, oops you gave your physical address to the FCC and that is public information. Besides, that "personal tracker" in your pocket is located in the cell network even when you have Location "turned off". I would argue more people can read maps now than any time in history. The cell phone has made navigation an every day activity for thousands of people who would have never looked at a paper map. Map orientation skills... perhaps not so much. There are a bunch of hilarious u-toob videos of people with maps, reading them just fine until the map leads them down a dead end road.

Unrelated side note, the slide rule in WRXB215's signature is something few people can read.
