Geolocator is an add-on behavior for the OpenLayers module. It uses work from the camptocamp project funded by the UN to enable HTML5 and Google Gears geolocation (via IP and other factors).
The project is unfinished; to be frank, it has barely started. Also, this functionality needs a bit of explanation:
- HTML5 geolocation is not supported by the majority of browsers. On the Mac, only Firefox 3.6+ supports geolocation. Chrome and Safari do not.
- Finding a user's location will never be automatic because this poses a security risk. If a webpage asks for a users location via HTML5, the browser will display a bar which asks the user whether they want to share their location or not.
