Answer 1

here is my solution thanks to a closure :

  function geoloc(success, fail){
    var is_echo = false;
    if(navigator && navigator.geolocation) {
      navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
        function(pos) {
          if (is_echo){ return; }
          is_echo = true;
          success(pos.coords.latitude,pos.coords.longitude);
        }, 
        function() {
          if (is_echo){ return; }
          is_echo = true;
          fail();
        }
      );
    } else {
      fail();
    }
  }

  function success(lat, lng){
    alert(lat + " , " + lng);
  }
  function fail(){
    alert("failed");
  }

  geoloc(success, fail);
