GPS location does not work anymore in webview (Noble)

pparent

Hi,

Since my upgrade to Noble it seems that I cannot have location in the webview (in Morph Browser or Google Maps webapp), while in Pure Maps it still works fine.

I have a Vollaphone 22

Regards.

@pparent - did you test whether the preview for the Qt6 update for Morph available in the Open Store works for location for the website you are trying to link to yet?

Yes, there is not difference.

Ps: It does not seem that the problem is in a website in particular, but on all websites. I've tryied very basic ones supposed to give me my coordinates and it fails.

I wonder if it could be related to the compass. Because if I enable compass in puremaps it does not work. Although if I try a compass app, it works more or less. But I don't understand why it needs to read compass to give position to the webview.

I tried it at gps.coordinates.net with Morph and it got to the next street from mine so it seems to work. This is with 24.04 RC on a Fairphone 5.
