[openstreetmap-website] location-control does not work with android stock browser or chrome on android (#365)

[apmon]

Yes, it looks like it is a device / browser issue. Googling for it, there are many reports of it failing on various different android browsers, with various work arounds that some claim work and some claim don't

The strange thing is that after playing a while with my own tiny page, trying out some of those work-arounds (changing the settings of timeout, enableHighAccuracy and maximumAge in getPosition), it suddenly started working, and now also works correctly on osm.org.

It looks like it might be, because by default it always tries to get a gps lock rather than a wifi location and that interacts badly with the timeouts. Opera appears to behave differently by default and didn't have these issues.
