Which Devices Support Javascript Geolocation via navigator.geolocation?

Question

The iPhone supports geolocation in mobile Safari via the following call:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
  function(pos){
    var lat = pos.coords.         


        

Answer 1

As of today, the W3C Geolocation API (widely associated with, though not technically part of, HTML 5) is support in the following major desktop browsers:

• Firefox (since 3.5)
• Safari (since 5.0)
• Google Chrome (version depends on OS)
• Opera (since 10.60)
• Internet Explorer (since IE 9)

There are at least two mobile browsers that implement the Geolocation API:

• Safari Mobile (since iPhone OS 3.0)
• Android (since at least Android 1.6)

On all of these platforms, you should be able to use navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition, etc.
