navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition sometimes works sometimes doesn't

Question

So I have a pretty simple bit of JS using the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition jammy.

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(\"#business-locate, #people-l

In our case it always works the first time but rerunning the function more than 3-4 times, it fails.

Simple workaround: Store it's value in LocalStorage.

Before:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {
  let val = results[0].address_components[2].long_name;
  doSthWithVal(val);      
}, (error) => { });

After:

if(localStorage.getItem('getCurrentPosition') !== null) {
  doSthWithVal(localStorage.getItem('getCurrentPosition'));
}
else {
  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {
      let val = results[0].address_components[2].long_name;
      localStorage.setItem('getCurrentPosition',val);
      doSthWithVal(val);      
  }, (error) => { });
}
