Pedro -- Yes, Gears would be able to solve your problem. You can use the GeoLocation class to get your latitude/longitue which you could then plot on the Maps API. Users of your application must have Gears installed, though. There is also a GeoLocation API that is part of the AJAX APIs. You can find documentation on the Gears and AJAX GeoLocation APIs here: http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_geolocation.html http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/documentation/#ClientLocation
