What is my Geolocation

This page shows your geolocation data; this data is derived from navigator.geolocation JavaScript API. There are six methods designed to extract geodata from javascript engine. The last two methods are "aggressive", meaning that, they can extract the real geodata even if you have a plugin to spoof your geolocation data. The first four methods may conceive fake geolocation but the last two will not and always return the real geodata.

To work with this web app, simply click a method from the above drop-down list. The app will render the geodata in the above table after a while. Please note that, since this page uses the geolocation API, you must accept the location permission when the browser asks for. Beside geolocation, it shows you the country name and code for the current geolocation data. Moreover, the time stamp and time string for the current geodata are also computed.

In the drop-down list above, the first two methods are "normal". In other words, they use common approaches to compute the geodata. If you have a spoofer plugin, the first two methods will fail to extract the real data. Methods 3 and 4 are marked as moderate which means they may extract the real data even if you have a spoof mechanism. But this is not guaranteed and they may fail to render the real info. The last two methods are marked as aggressive; meaning that most probably these methods catch the real geodata even if you have a spoof mechanism (plug-in or addon). Please note that in some situations these methods may also fail to render the real geodata due to bugs or spoofer plugins that can bypass the underlying logic.
