Has anybody had any success in using the geoLocation features to return
the latitude and longtitude back into an EWB application yet?

Calling the geoLocation appears to work if I use Internet Explorer but
fails using the built in browser with a Permission Denied error.

As far as I can find out, it's a restriction of the embedded webbrowser
control - you can't use the geolocation services with it.  I'm not sure why,
though.

Tim, thanks for the email to get this working for me.

I have posted an example in the demos group.

"WebBrowser control will use whatever version of IE you have installed, but for compatibility reasons it will render pages in IE7 Standards mode by default."

Rob

I think it is caused by this.
