Hello,

you have to enable JavaScript and JavaScript Location Support in the options menu.

I just realized that I also had to enable GPS in the general device options in addition to the Browser options.

Thanks!

Thanks for that last post. I have a Blackberry curve ( App Version: 6.0.0.415 (1659) ) and until reading that post I've been unsuccessful at getting location detection to work. Everything that I've tried (except for your post) returns 0,0 for the latitude and longitude. My goal is to get location detection working on every device that I can for my web app. I seem to have it working fine on everything except for Blackberry.

One question I have is how do I remove the location handler? This code is not working, as I never see the 'location handler removed' message.

<html>
<body>
<script language="Javascript">
function removeLocation() {
// dummy function since removeLocationUpdate requires a callback
window.alert("location handler removed");
}
function getLocation() {
window.alert("Your new position is " + blackberry.location.latitude + " degrees latitude and " + blackberry.location.longitude + " degrees longitude.");
blackberry.location.removeLocationUpdate(removeLocation);
}

if(blackberry.location.GPSSupported) {
blackberry.location.setAidMode(1);
blackberry.location.refreshLocation();
blackberry.location.onLocationUpdate(getLocation);
} else {
alert('nope');
}

</script>
<p>detecting location....</p>
</body>
</html>

By the way these exampls return 0,0 for the latitude and longitude:

For developers using 5.0+ in a webworks app, or 6.0+ in a browser app you should simply be able to use HTML5 Geolocation
