> Why?

does the same for me, even using the google example page:
http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/clientlocation/clientlocation.html

a search of this group turns up lots of similar queries, and the
answer seems to boil down to the fact that some places it works and
some places it doesn't
http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api/search?group=google-maps-api&q=client+location&qt_g=Search+this+group

and then goes on to say that the AJAX API forum (http://
groups.google.com/group/google-ajax-search-api) is a better place for
questions about this service (although the following quote, from that
forum is less than encouraging: "Simply put, the ClientLocation
feature is to be considered absolutely unreliable for production
applications.")

fwiw, the example page that you quote (http://www.urbanclaim.com/
new.php)
doesn't find me via ClientLocation or Google Gears, but
eventually via W3C standard... and even then it's a couple of hundred
km off (probably quite accurate as to where my ISP is located
though)... which says to me that it's a smart idea building some
fallback conditions into your code (like that page does) and not to be
trusting it to be too accurate, either way
