I have an issue with window.navigator, I'm getting error code 1, User denied Geolocation whenever I run the following code as a local html file:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {

        console.log(position);

    }, function(positionError) {

        console.log(positionError);

    });

The output is coming from the error function, positionError contains:

code: 1

message: User denied Geolocation

This does not happen if the containing html is served from some server.

Is this expected? Is there some way to use navigator from a local html? I am trying to write some mobile app, but am also trying to avoid network whenever possible.

thanks.
