    Secure origins are probably only your local machine and HTTPS hosts – aJetHorn Jan 23 '18 at 00:41

  • @Ricky - You should just post that as an answer, with a summary, something along the lines of "You need to enable a HTTPS\secure connection with your webapp." – Puddler Jan 23 '18 at 00:56

Chrome no longer supports obtaining the user's location using the HTML5 Geolocation API from pages delivered by non-secure connections.

User location is considered sensitive data, that's why Chrome enforced serving your website in a secure context (HTTPS) in order to use the Geolocation API in their browser.
