Site doesnt work unless you give it location access.

My browser is too simple to support location pop up dialogs (it's some lightweight webview wrapper from f-droid with a workflow that I like), I figured it wouldn't work but after a few seconds it fell back to IP based geolocation. Very happily surprised :)

And like someone else already said, street view works fine with a coarse location like a city name, so long as the name is unique and you don't end up in another country.

If you choose to not share your location, it will ask you to enter an address and it doesn't have to be a full address. Just city name is enough.

It should fall back to IP geolocation, but you really need to know at least a general location to get accurate times.

That's correct - it used IP geolocation for me as my browser is configured to auto-reject Location API requests. :)

what is the default using when I'm using my desktop? My Wifi SSID and creepy pre-sharing to databases that I did inadvertently?
