Recently, the W3C has been working on a geolocation API for web browsers:
http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html WebKit's trunk has preliminary support for this new Geolocation API. You can see the capability in the WebKit source tree: http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/page/Geolocation.cpp I looked in Android's Git repository and it appears that the Android repository doesn't (yet) include WebKit's Geolocation implementation: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/webkit.git;a=tree;f=WebCore/page;h=41b57623a2343e387a4126b0f5e44b826a10408f;hb=refs/heads/master According to a Twitter user, Google gave a demo of geolocation in the Android browser at the Future of Mobile conference: http://twitter.com/geekyouup/status/1009624011 "#FOM Android browser gives access to location info thru google gears mobile" I searched the Google Gears source tree and found this code: http://code.google.com/p/gears/source/browse/trunk/gears/geolocation/AndroidGpsLocationProvider.java http://code.google.com/p/gears/source/browse/trunk/gears/geolocation/gps_device_android.cc?r=3007 It appears that Google Gears for Mobile is coming to the Android platform. The Gears Gelocation API is nice but I'd really like to see support for the W3C Gelocation API. I hope the W3C finalizes their work soon.
