Hello! I can't reproduce this, unfortunately. (Or fortunately, from my perspective. :) I tried that URI you provided on UK RC9, an earlier UK build, on US RC33, and on a recent build from the cupcake development branch, and in each case the Gears dialog appeared and correctly asked for permission to access my location.
Are you certain that you didn't once accidentally deny it permission? Gears will remember that, unless you reset the setting. To double-check, you can go to Browser->Menu->Settings->Gears Settings and look for your site's name (gad.getpla.net). - Dan On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 1:42 AM, String <[email protected]>wrote: > > I've been chasing a bug for the last day in a browser application > using the Google Gears geolocation API.
