Have you tried the basic W3C method? http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#DetectingUserLocation
It will ask the user for permission of course, but that's really what's necessary and proper for any web-based display. Using an actual mobile ap gives you more options (but in this case, the user still agrees to share their location via the app permissions) On a non-mobile browser with an IP address (or mobiel device on a wireless connection) you can also often get a decent city-level location for a given IP address from using google's jsapi method. Once you've loaded the jsapi library properly, check the google.loader.ClientLocation object -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
