--- Comment #7 from Jon <[email protected]> --- Although geoip is less accurate I still think the same privacy considerations for geolocation should apply to use of geoip (even though they don't need to). To quote from the w3 spec: "A conforming implementation of this specification must provide a mechanism that protects the user's privacy and this mechanism should ensure that no location information is made available through this API without the user's express permission." http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html#security I think if we were to use GeoIP it would only be fair to prompt for this. However the main reason for not using GeoIP is the lack of accuracy. Considering the support for geolocation [1] I don't see much value in adding a less accurate version of Nearby.
