Why is my location incorrect?

There are many possible reasons Mobile Sarasota History Alive! is not accurately indicating your present location.

  1. Your device does not support the HTML 5 Geo-location protocol
  2. Location Services on your mobile device are turned off or disabled
  3. The time stamp of the location provided by your device is stale/expired
  4. Some phones do not use true GPS services, but triangulate their location via cell towers which can be affected by signal interference
