html geo location not working across all browsers

I'm using the html5 JS function navigator.geolocation

 if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoLocationSuccess, geoLocationError);
}

When I run the function on windows 7 in chrome, ff, ie10, it returns almost instantly with my location.

Now I'm testing on a new ipad with mobile safari. The iPad initially prompts if I want to allow the browser to use my location. I click yes. After about a minute the geolocationError function is called with error code 2 (location is unavailable).

Both devices are on the same wifi network and one can find the location and the other can't.

I've read mobile safari supports the geolocation function. Am I doing something wrong?

This looks like a bug in iOS 6 according to this Apple Support thread; geolocation doesn't work with iOS 6 web apps!
