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.

Chris,

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.

Would it be related to this -

"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."

I think it is caused by this.
