Problem with geolocation
-
I have a problem with geolocation. The "search" button is suddenly nonfunctional. I can manually scan around and zoom in the map and grab an image, but I cannot search for an address. I have restarted my computer and nothing changed. The next step would be to uninstall and reinstall SketchUp, but I don't want to do that if I do not have to.
Ideas, anyone?

I would trying clearing the IE caches/temporary internet files next.

I don't use IE, but I did that, anyway. I also dumped the history on FireFox, which I do use. Neither had any effect. This is a REAL problem for me. I use geolocation a lot; at least I did before it crapped out on me.

And you are, as your profile indicates, using SU2015 and not SU8 or SU2013?
FWIW, it doesn't matter whether or not you use IE, SketchUp uses IE no matter what your default browser is. Have you checked to see if IE is up to date?

SU2015, yes, and geolocation worked fine until a couple of days ago. The weird thing is that if I zoom in manually from the world map it works fine; it just won't search for an address.
As for IE, didn't Microsoft just cut off support for IE? BTW, SU geolocation works just fine on my Mac.

...and I don't have IE at all on my Mac.

My apologies; that seems to have worked. I had cleared the history but I had not gone into internet options and dumped everything. Once I did that, geolocation started working again.
Thanks!

Good. Glad that took care of it. And as you've discovered, there's a difference between clearing the history and clearing the caches.

No, on Mac SketchUp uses Safari. You didn't bring up Mac before and your profile indicates Windows so I didn't think it was necessary to mention Safari.
