Hi,

I want to use the w3c geolocation service in android browsers. I
tested with HTC Hero android 2.1.

Here is the Google sample map that shows how geolocation should work:

http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-geolocation.html

Result: Map is shown. Infowindow: Location found using W3C standard.

That's how it should be. But the infowindow points to a place on the
map that is (probably) the next cell tower and not my precise
location. It seems as if the GPS data are not processed.

I decided to do some testing and copied the source code of the page
and put it here:
http://speibl.com/samples/v3-tutorial-17-geolocation1.html

When I open this page in my smartphone then the screen shows nothing
but a white browser viewport.

My questions are:

Should andorid 2.1 be able to do geolocation with GPS data?
Why is no GPS data used for geolocation in the sample?
Why does the same source code create different results?

Any help is highly appreciated. If this can't be fixed I have to stop
writing webapps and switch to native apps instead, hoping that
geolocation works better with native apps.

Thanks a lot,
Rolf
