I am making an application in which i need to use geolocation Service in home page. when application starts it ask to allow share location and if we allow to share location , it gives error like, It give result like "Unable to retrieve your location". While it is working fine in WiFi internet connection.

Please review following link

The geolocation service is more accurate when there is a wifi connection. The Safari browser will passed the router MAC addresses to the geolocation server to pinpoint the location.

If there is no WIFI routers, it is hardly to pinpoint the location by high accuracy. Therefore, the browser does not provide any geolocation information.
