Cloud: GeoGraphic only showing map of Champaign

Posted 10 years ago

Anytime I create a GeoGraphic it is only showing a map of Champaign and I cannot get anything to show a map of my current location?

Any examples of what should work, then I can try it out and ensure it does, or if it might be a permissions problem on my computer forcing it to default to Champaign.

thanks!

That is interesting. Are you talking about the Wolfram Cloud?

Note that you get different outputs depending on how you ask for your current location:

== current geoIP location

, i.e. using the double equal sign, gives you your correct IP address. This does work in the Wolfram Programming Cloud.

= current geoIP location 

gives the IP address a server that Wolfram Alpha believes is registered to Amazon, see:

GeoGraphics[]

indeed gives a map of Champaign.

FindGeoLocation[]

in the Cloud gives

GeoPosition[{40.11,-88.24}]

which is Champain, I presume. On the RaspberryPi it does work as expected. Perhaps it is worth reporting that to the developers?
