An updated version of @ceejayoz's answer:

    if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error);
    } else {
        alert('geolocation not supported');
    }
    function error(msg) {
        alert('error: ' + msg);
    }
    function success(position) {

        var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
        var mapOptions = {
            zoom: 12,
            center: myLatlng,
            scaleControl: false,
            draggable: false,
            scrollwheel: false,
            navigationControl: false,
            mapTypeControl: false
        }


        map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementsByClassName('map-canvas')[0], mapOptions);
        marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            position: myLatlng,
            map: map,
            title: 'Main map',
            icon: iconBase + 'arrow.png'
        });
    }
