Cannot disable "localization." However, Google Maps opens to my exact location.

Hi all

I read in the forum after forum on Google and Mozilla and have tried many steps like turning off "geo-enabled" in all: config, etc.

Every thing in the settings of Google is set to 'Pause', which I think is also disabled because you can turn them off, but when I go to the site of Google Maps, it always zooms in on my position real and true.

I tried navigating to another city and then completely close the Firefox browser, but then when I go back to Google Maps, it zooms in to my actual location. How in the heck is Google Maps knows that if the Firefox browser is not it?

When the page opens, here's what it says in the address bar:
https://www.Google.com/maps/@33.XXXXXXX,-86.xxxxxxx, 12z

with the x being the rest of my exact location of lat/long. As I said, where is this latitude/longitude information from otherwise the browser?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As always,.
Hugh

If geolocation is not used, then Web sites can do a reverse DNS glance upward from your IP address and is generally not very accurate.

Firefox will always ask for permission before using the geolocation.

You can use websites like these to see how your location is indicated by a reverse search DNS of your IP address:

  • Search Google Maps open text form field

    I would like to a user to enter an address in a field of text and then click a button on the same form which will open a google maps search that automatically uses this text field for the search value.  I tried to use "Open a Web link" in the action of the button by using the URL "http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q & hl = in & q = this.getfield("address 1") .value' but who obviously search google maps for"this.getfield("address_1").value"."  Hehe.  Is it possible?

    Thank you

    Try to use the app.launchURL method, for example:

    var report = "http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=" + getField("address_1").valueAsString;

    app.launchURL ({cURL: report, bNewFrame: true});

    You'll probably want to validate the address first, but you should get the idea.

    Jeanne, check your calendar for appointments or birthdays that have reminders that extend from the end of 08 and January 1.  Delete everything and see if you can turn off your device.

  • How to link to a location on Google map

    Hi guys,.

    I have a column that contains the codes of places for example: 25.197732,55.273581
    (I got from Google map when right click the location, and then select "what's here" then I get a number in the search bar)
    When a user clicks a value in this column, he must see location on Google map.

    My question is, what is the link I should use to achieve this?

    I hope my question is clear.

  • How can I disable the Google Maps message "Google has disabled the use of maps API for this application? This as Microsoft tries to crush Netscape?

    In the last day or two (8 August 2012) each time I start Firefox (14.01.01) I get a pop up that says "Google has disabled using the maps API for this application. He directs me to Google Maps terms & Conditions, but does not provide a solution to disable the pop up. I tried to disable Google Maps as an Add on Firefox, but still not the context menu.
    It is easy to fix the problem or is this an attempt by Google to force me to Chrome, much like trying to crush Netscape in favour of Microsoft's Internet Explorer?

    I thought about it. It is not the browser itself. It happened that I had two pages that open when I started the browser (at home and at work) and it was one of them who had a Google map. They have had to fix their Web site.
    Sorry Google, to think that you were an evil Empire!

  • How can I disable the zoom MagicMouse with Google Maps?

    I use OS 10.11.3 (just improved) and an iMac 27 inches and MagicMouse, and suddenly the zoom with Google maps feature is now out of control.  I barely touch the MagicMouse and the zoom goes berserk, zoom-and-out and back-and-forth like crazy!  I can't click-and - drag any card with the function of zoo goes ballistic.

    I had already been able to disable this annoying zoom feature but now I can't find anything in system preferences (mouse, accessibility, trackpad, etc.).  Please help me.  Thank you!

    Hi FRANTIC,

    I don't know if you press any other keys while you scroll/zoom around your screen or if this only happens with Google maps, but I don't know which would be difficult.

    Looks like you check in the appropriate locations to change the behavior.

    Zoom in the accessibility preferences - Mac Help options

    Set the options for the selected style (full-screen or picture-in-picture) by clicking More Options in the Zoom of the accessibility preferences pane.

    To open this pane, choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, click Zoom, and then click More Options.

    Zoom full screen

      

    Maximum and minimum Zoom Zoom

      

    Set the range of magnification to use when you zoom in and out quickly.

    Enlarge the image on the screen using your trackpad - Mac Help

    You can use your trackpad to zoom in on part of your screen.

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click Zoom.

    2. Select 'Gesture to scroll using the modifier keys to zoom' to activate the zoom, and then select control, Option, or command from the context menu.

    It works for you?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones AppWorld 'Search' cannot find Google Maps or Opera Mini?

    Think about a feature request, I guess. Currently when you are looking for some of the most common applications such as Google Maps and Opera Mini, you get completely insane results. I don't know if it's the ranking that is broken, or if the application does not only exist, but it is unacceptable.

    And don't tell me "it's not our fault - developers must submit their applications to us." If this is the case currently, RIM should certainly complement these developer comments w / consumer applications.

    Does anyone else have the same experience with other mainstream applications?

    Hello and welcome to the Forums!

    With regard to your hope that RIM will see your message - these forums are a chain of support to users, not a conduct of user-to-RIM. Therefore, it is unlikely they will see what you wrote.
