Geolocation in Browser works in 1.6 (Gears) but not 2.0 (HTML5/W3C) - Tested in emulator and real devices.

Question

I created this little Geolocation experiment site http://www.bctx.info/wx it works great on my Android 1.6 (Magic, I/O Phone) it prompts the user to share, returns lat, log and is snappy. 1.6 uses Gears for this. I tried it on an up to date Droid and a 2.0 emulator image and it detects the "navigator.geolocation" element (excellent!) and waits for the user to share but no popup appears on the device and it cannot proceed. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

The phone in question was defaulting to the Dolphin browser (and defaulting to it silently) which doesn't support geolocation, still can't explain the emulator issue but for now...
