Hi Steve, Thanks a lot for the quick response. I haven't told this in my previous post. Let me clarify things.....
The Emulators I use are Windows Mobile 6.0 Classic and professional. I installed a Fake GPS program which acts as if there were a GPS receiver and a GPS intermediate driver. I am able to run a Windows Mobile Forms based application in C# which can retrieve the location from the fake GPS driver (of course that's not the real location), but I could fetch what ever the fake GPS provides as a position (Latitude and longitude). Let me give you the code I used.... I just tried to open one of the sample APIs using GeoLocation in this link : http://code.google.com/apis/gears/samples/hello_world_geolocation.html This page in my desktop browser apparently takes my network Service Provider's data as a position fix. The first time the page is opened, gears asks if I want to grant permission for the web page to access it (gears on my computer). I granted permission and it worked perfectly fine and I got my latitude and longitude after 5 seconds. The same page when opened in my emulator's browser (it's run on my computer) also pops up the permission box from gears.... and I grant, but it never gets the location..... even after an hour. not even from the IP through which my computer connects to the internet (as my emulator obvioulsy uses my computer's IP).... not even from the fake GPS program I mentioned. Can you now tell me how I can proceed further now?
