Hi ck2, what browser are you using? Do you have Firebug installed? Take a look at the output there and tell me what message or exception you see. Sometimes the Geolocation API will return that it can’t find a location, especially if you are on a private Wifi network that has not been mapped.

Hmm, a free, open, probably highly accurate and often updated geolocation api that probably has decent response time. I think maxmind is going to lose some business eventually.

I can’t get the demo code to work unfortunately, I may have google too heavily filtered and firewalled (big brother and all)

here’s the svn http://google-ajax-examples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/uploadmovietool/
