Thoughts after playing around with Firefox beta 3 beta 1 on a "hello world" demo: http://geo.webvm.net/ The current FF 3.1b1's default native error message "Error retrieving your location: " (without a nsIGeolocationProvider) could be better. How about "no providers found?" How does the demo know that I cheated with a virtual GPS? :) I have noticed ClientInformationGeolocation... though that does not seem to work for me. Oh and ClientInformation in html5 has been renamed to navigator the #whatwg people tell me: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#system-state-and-capabilities Will plugins and scripts be allowed to set values on the navigator object? I would like to simply see something like geolocation.getInfo() return with a string "Virtual GPS 0.41 by doug". Wish there could be a pleasant way in Javascript to give people the choice which provider to use. nsIGeolocationProvider is cool but can it be implemented via NPAPI easily? I wonder if Gears will implement that interface. Kind regards,
