The location widget, located in the web mapping app. returns "Location dinied". But when I open it in any web explorer, it works perfectly.

Hi,

You also need to explicitly include logic in your app to request this permission at run-time.

var status = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>(); // Request location permission if not granted. if (status != PermissionStatus.Granted) { status = await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>(); }

Since you aren't using the Maps SDK for .NET MAUI but using the JavaScript SDK, it's not quite the right forum. However a quick google search reveals a few settings and things you need to do to enable location in embedded webviews: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5329662/android-webview-geolocation
