Annoying Geopoint Location Warning in Web App

BBurkholder

So, this warning pops up in version 3.20 of the Web App on a geopoint question:

"Can not find your location. Please check your browser to ensure that your location is shared."

Now in 3.21, an additional error message is presented:

"There was an error. Please check the location permissions on your browser and operating system."

These messages are present in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

Going back a few versions, there are no warnings if I open my survey with https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/[.......]f?version=3.13 but the first starts to appear at version 3.14.

Anyone know of a way to get rid of these warnings via a setting somewhere (for all users, not just my browsers). Maybe in bind::esri:warning? I would like to suppress it as my users should not need to share their location from a browser and it wouldn't be the correct one anyway.

Thanks!

Set the default value for your geopoint question to null. That will stop the survey from trying to use the user's location.

That works well - thanks Jen!

(Sorry if I missed this in the documentation somewhere - I'm not seeing it in a cursory search.)

Is there a way to do this in ArcGIS Online?

@JenniferAcunto Using Survey123 Connect 3.24.31. Setting default for geopoint to null is not working in my case.

Any advice? Thanks!

When I removed the press-to-locate option in appearance for geopoint, the message disappeared.

Entering "null" in the "Default" field for our geoshape eliminated the "Can't find your location..." nag, finally. Thank you for the answer!

Here are the parameters we used, in case any others mattered:

geoshape question

default: null

body::esri:style: method=vertex center=none lineColor=red mapTools=zoom,home,mapSwitcher

We also have a dummy geopoint question that was supposed to solve this (it didn't), and now I'm just going to leave it in there to avoid, you know, stirring the pot.
