HTML 5 Geolocalization doesn't work in Safari

I have this basic function for indentify the position of the user:

function getLocation()
{

if (navigator.geolocation)
{

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showmyPosition, errorCallback);
}
else
{
alert("Geolocation is not supported by this browser."); 
}
}

function showmyPosition(position)
{   
document.location.href="/search?lat="+  position.coords.latitude +"&lng="+ position.coords.longitude +"";
}    

function errorCallback(error) {
if (error.code === 1) {
alert("User denied geolocation");
}
}

Works fine on Firefox, Chrome and Explorer but doesn't work on Safary (neither on iPhone). Why?

In case geolocation is turned off in configuration, it won't work. In addition it requires a secure (HTTPS) protocol. You could also have a look at JS-lib: https://code.google.com/archive/p/geo-location-javascript/
