Hello, any suggestions why the geolocation request might not work:
I add request geolocation for test in one day tut in ClientSession

@Override
protected void execLoadSession() {
... (original tut code)

    // test
    // initially, I always have parameter GeoLocationServiceAvailable as False
    getDesktop().getUIFacade().setGeoLocationServiceAvailableFromUI(true);

    if (getDesktop().isGeolocationServiceAvailable()) {
        Future<Coordinates> localUserFutureCoordinates = getDesktop().requestGeolocation();
    
    //getDesktop().getUIFacade().fireGeolocationDetermined("1.0", "2.0");
    try {
        localUserLocation = localUserFutureCoordinates.get(5000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).toString();

...

But result always bad

In config.properties
### Environment
scout.devMode=true
scout.auth.cookieSessionValidateSecure=false

If I run local html with script navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition, I have normal coordinates after the browser requests permissions. When visiting the dev Contact local site, the browser does not requests permissions at all.

Will be grateful for any indication of the direction to move

Hi Oleg,

waiting for the future probably blocks the startup of the session. Just add a button and request the location on the button click. Does that work?
