    • C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20XX\GeoMapHtml\assets\js
  • Next, take the AcGeoLocationUI.arx file for the version of AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT installed, and copy it into the following location.
    • C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20XX
    • If it mentions the file already exists, please replace it with the new file.

Now open AutoCAD and test to see that the Geolocation works as expected
