Please help!!

This is a very common misconception that has been making this project more difficult for students than it should be. Browser geolocation works perfectly well, but you need to make sure your app is hosted securely (https://...), and that all AJAX calls are also made to secure servers. This is very easy to do, much easier than using these janky IP address hacks. When you’ve posted your code, we’ll get you sorted out.
