Why do I need to turn off my adblocker to see the map?
The app makes a 3rd-party request to determine your IP. I wonder why they didn't just grab it from HTTP headers?
Hi,
this is in order to localize you roughly on the map. Instead of showing you completely different part of the map :)
Just offer a button to request this.
No reason to make it a default and running into those problems.
PS. no way I'm turning off my ublock for some unknown page asking for this.
Happy to localize myself thanks
