UIWebView (iphone) loading Google Maps, keeps asking for permission to use users location

[Loek Wetzels]

Hi there,

I've created a simple iPhone app which basically is a UIWebView showing a webpage. On this webpage I'm loading a googlemap using the v3 API.

like so: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/tutorial-iphone.html

Everytime I open the app I get a popup:

"<url_of_my_site>" Would Like to use Your Current Location

[Don't Allow] [OK]

Is there any way I can save this user preference?

This webpage is also used on other platforms (Android e.g.) so rebuilding this (iPhone) app and using a UIMapView is not really an option (as there is no budget).

Thanks!

Have you actually accepted by pressing OK?  It may prompt you once or twice, but after that it should remember that you granted access.

Yes I pressed OK a few times ;)

The problem is that this preference is not saved (by default?) because a webpage loaded in UIWebView is asking for permission, NOT the app itself.

Is there maybe someway I can pass the location (requested by the app) to the webpage (without reloading)?
