Rround - Hackdot

Re:Rround by pom on Wednesday September 14, 2011 @11:22PM (#2998786)

I get a "Retrieving position timeout" error, even though I accept to share my location (on both Firefox and Google Chrome on OS X; geosharing works otherwise, for instance on this: http://slides.html5rocks.com/#geolocation.)

EDIT: Additionally, it would be nice to have a short description with screenshots of what it is supposed in the case that you cannot get through the location stage...

Yes, the geolocation API can act weird sometimes :( try to clear you cache or try a different browser. You can alway enter your location manually (not the same but it's something). I'm sorry if the app didn't worked for you :(

Tried on Safari, it timed out. Cleared my cache, tried again. Same thing. Tried Chrome, timed out.

I'll enter my location manually, it seems like a really awesome idea!

That sucks :( Maybe if you try on an ipad or smartphone (devices with gps)?
