Hi,

I've noticed that I can't see my location in Google Maps anymore. I don't know when this started happening; I'm sure it used to work some time ago, so it's probably a recent macOS update that broke it.
I'm on Catalina 10.15.6, using Safari 13.1.2.
Location Services are turned on, Safari has permission to use them, and yet Google Maps is complaining about not being allowed to use my location.

I seem to remember that Safari used to warn me when a web site wanted to use the location, and it gave me the option of allowing it for one hour, or something like that, if memory serves. But not anymore. When I touch the location icon in Google Maps I get the error message immediately.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Looks fine to me:

I can't seem to add a website manually. I guess it only appears here after it asks for permission once and I grant it to it. But Google Maps never asks.
