This is now fixed, the folks at google were kind enough to bump our
geolocation API quotas without billing enabled.

Title:
Geolocation stopped working recently in chromium
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
At some point during the month of July 2018, the geolocation service
stopped working in all ubuntu versions of chromium (I'm currently
testing on the latest stable, 68.0.3440.75).
This can be observed by browsing to https://html5demos.com/geo,
authorizing the browser to access the position information when
prompted, and observing that the page consistently fails to find the
location.
The same issue has been reported for ArchLinux packages:
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg
/chromium-packagers/1LDZZnYJ0SU/OCCtVl78BQAJ.
It appears Google now requires API key owners to enable billing
(despite the fact that geolocation is supposedly a free service), and
this hasn't been done for the API key used in Ubuntu packages.
