Question

Which web browsers (and version) support Gelocation via HTML5?

Answer 1

Assuming you mean geolocation API's,

Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Using_geolocation

Safari: http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/GettingGeographicalLocations/GettingGeographicalLocations.html

Opera: http://my.opera.com/core/blog/geolocation-enabled-build

And more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W3C_Geolocation_API

Answer 2

on the desktop only firefox (not sure if opera already includes it in official builds), on mobile: mobile safari 3 & android 2.x browser

more info about support on:

• the desktop: http://www.findmebyip.com/litmus
• mobile: http://www.quirksmode.org/webkit.html#t013

hope this helps, frank

Answer 3

Geolocation on Safari is iPhone only

Google Chrome beta has optional support: http://www.wait-till-i.com/2010/03/04/google-chrome-getting-navigator-geolocation/

Unfortunately Opera 10.50 does not seem to have geolocation, which is a bit of bummer considering how great it looks in most other regards. (Video, audio, CSS3 improvements + Carakan really smokes V8, Squirrelfish and Tracemonkey.)
