Civil 3D Geolocation at government or high security offices
Applies to:
Civil 3D
Issue:
You work at an organization with higher than baseline security and have already checked the basics of having a coordinate system set in the drawing, and Geolocation and aerial background maps are not displating correctly in Civil 3D.
Causes:
Organization Firewalls are blocking the neccessary relay addresses which are used for Gelocation.
Solution:
Engage IT department to 'whitelist' a specific list of addresses in the firewall.
Below is an article with the addresses which need to be whitelisted here:

Once the IT department has whitelisted the above addresses, check for Geolocation function.
