In your Chrome browser, you can easily verify that MapQuest.com has permission to use your location by following these easy steps:

Step 1: Open Chrome Settings

1. Open Google Chrome on your computer or mobile device.

2. Click the three dots menu (located in the top-right corner of the browser on desktop or in the bottom-right corner on mobile).

3. Select Settings from the dropdown menu.

Step 2: Access Privacy and Security Settings

1. Scroll down and click Privacy and Security (on mobile, tap Site settings directly).

2. In the Privacy and Security section, click Site Settings.

Step 3: Locate Location Permissions

1. Under the Permissions heading, click Location.

2. A list of websites that have requested access to your location will appear.

Step 4: Review and Manage Location Permissions

• Allow or Block Location Access for Specific Sites:
  – Locate the site you want to manage from the list.
  – Click the site’s name or the drop-down icon next to it.
  – Choose between Allow, Block, or Clear on Exit.

• Add a New Site to Allow or Block:
  – Click Add under the "Blocked" or "Allowed" sections.

If you’re not seeing location prompts:

• Ensure location services are enabled on your device.
