This is from the Google site itself:
Chrome has public intent to deprecate powerful features like geolocation on non-secure origins, and we hope that others will follow.
Starting with Chrome 50, Chrome no longer supports obtaining the user's location using the HTML5 Geolocation APIfrom pages delivered by non-secure connections. This means that the page that's making the Geolocation API call must be served from a secure context such as HTTPS.
It is an important issue as it will directly impact any site that requires use of the geolocation API and is not served over https, but it is a change that we do believe is beneficial to all users on the web. This post should help you understand the reasoning and how to proceed.
Have tried with a secure and non-secure site - Google blocks map location returns on the non-secure site. Was a bit confusing for me at first as it works fine non-secure with IE11 and Firefox.
