PositionError Network location provider at https://www.googleapis.com/: Returned 404 error code

Question

I am using the Geolocation HTML5 API. I am using angular.js. I am writing a small factory function

myApp.factory("GeolocationService", ['$q', '$window', '$rootScope',
    function($q, $window, $rootScope) {
        return function() {
            var deferred = $q.defer();

            if (!$window.navigator) {


                $rootScope.$apply(function() {
                    deferred.reject(new Error("Geolocation is not supported"));
                });
            } else {
                $window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {

                    $rootScope.$apply(function() {
                        deferred.resolve(position);
                    });
                }, function(error) {

                    $rootScope.$apply(function() {
                        deferred.reject(error);
                    });
                });
            }

            return deferred.promise;
        }
    }
]);

When i use it. It gives me an error

PositionError {message: "Provider of network locations at https://www.googleapis.com/ ': Returned error code 404.", code: 2, PERMISSION_DENIED: 1, POSITION_UNAVAILABLE: 2, TIMEOUT: 3}

Can someone help how to solve it?
