Troubleshooting Geolocation Issues

• Website still shows old location: Ensure you have reload-completed the browser tab after changing coordinates. Some sites cache coordinates in state variables.
• Master Toggle is grayed out: Confirm that you are on a supported top-level webpage context. Browser settings pages (e.g. chrome://) do not support injection.
• Permissions warning: Chrome requires site access permissions to inject the interceptor code on page startup. Access warnings are standard browser policies.

Supported URL Formats

GeoShift parses coordinates automatically from several Google Maps clipboard URLs, including:

• https://www.google.com/maps/@latitude,longitude,zoomz
• https://www.google.com/maps/place/name/@latitude,longitude,zoomz
• Raw decimal coordinates input (e.g. 37.7749, -122.4194)

Scope & Limitations

GeoShift overrides location only via the JavaScript API call: navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() and watchPosition().

Important Exclusions:

• It does NOT modify your IP address or network proxy location.
• It does NOT modify your operating system or browser timezone settings.
• It does NOT intercept low-level WebRTC IP packets or account region profiles.
• Nested child iframes on cross-origin domains may not inherit overrides due to sandbox boundaries.
