    Hi there,

    Thank you so much for getting in touch, we really appreciate your time.

    Could I kindly ask you to confirm the exact version numbers of WP Google Maps and WP Google Maps Pro currently installed?

    Additionally, could I kindly ask you to check the following settings?
    1. Maps -> Map Editor -> Store Locator -> Please ensure “Allow users to use their location as the starting point:” is not enabled?
    2. Maps -> Map Editor -> Advanced -> Please ensure “Show User’s Location?”, “Jump to nearest marker on initialization?”, “Automatically pan to users location?”, and “Show distance from location?” is also not enabled?

    Lastly, if all these settings are indeed disabled, could I kindly ask you to clear any site cache and test from a new browser or simply clear your browser cache?

    Kindest Regards,
    Steven De Beer

    Hi there,

    Thank you so much for getting back to us.

    Could I kindly ask you to take a look at your end to confirm if you are still being requested to show the user’s location?

    If there are any map pages that are still requesting this, could I kindly ask you to list these in your next response?

    I look forward to hearing back from you.

    Kindest Regards,

    I am also having the same problem, using the Pro version. I have
    – changed settings as above
    – deleted the maps
    – deactivated the basic and pro plugins
    – deleted and reinstalled the basic and pro plugins

    But as soon as I click on Add New in Maps I get the browser prompt
    “The website “zzz.com” would like to use your current location.”

    Any suggestions?

    Hi there,

    Thank you so much for getting in touch and our sincerest apologies for the trouble.

    Could I kindly ask you to navigate to -> Maps -> Settings -> Advanced -> Please copy the below script and paste it in the custom JS field.

    jQuery(function($){
    WPGMZA.prototype.getCurrentPosition = function(){
    return;
    }
    });

    Once complete, please click save and confirm if this helps?

    Kindest Regards,

    For anyone else still having this issue, I was able to work around it by exporting my markers, creating a new map, and then importing my markers into the new map. For some reason just changing the settings does not stop the plugin from asking for the users location, but creating a new map fixed it for me. Good luck!
