GPS Troubleshooting- User Denied Location

Problem:

  3. Under location services you will find a list of apps. Find your browser in this list. It is probably called 'Safari' or 'Chrome'
  4. Set the Allow Location Access to 'While Using the App'
  5. Switch back to your browser and reload your Diamond Maps map page
  6. Click the 'GPS' button on the right side of the screen
