Google chrome geolocation not working

Question

I'm working on cross platform application. navigator.geolocation was working fine, but since last 2 days it just giving problem in Google chrome. Is the api deprecated or some other issue for this api? I tested following code on many different browsers and network but still the same issue.

var options = {
  enableHighAccuracy: true,
  timeout: 5000,
  maximumAge: 0
};

function success(pos) {
  var crd = pos.coords;

  console.log('Your current position is:');
  console.log('Latitude : ' + crd.latitude);
  console.log('Longitude: ' + crd.longitude);
  console.log('More or less ' + crd.accuracy + ' meters.');
};

function error(err) {
  console.warn('ERROR(' + err.code + '): ' + err.message);
};

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, options);

ERROR(2): Network location provider at 'https://www.googleapis.com/' : Returned error code 403.

Solution 1

Latest chrome has deprecated this API on non-secure origins:

Time to get https://localhost up and running ;)

Solution 2

This appears to be fixed now. Must have been an issue due to a server-side change google made. When I was debugging I was seeing a rate limit issue, even when I ran the getCurrentPosition() call in console on https://www.google.com.

I don't think so this, this also fails for me on localhost which is defined as a secured domain.
