Which Devices Support Javascript Geolocation via navigator.geolocation?

by

As of today, the W3C Geolocation API (widely associated with, though not technically part of, HTML 5) is support in the following major desktop browsers:

  • Firefox (since 3.5)
  • Safari (since 5.0)
  • Google Chrome (version depends on OS)
  • Opera (since 10.60)
  • Internet Explorer (since IE 9)

There are at least two mobile browsers that implement the Geolocation API:

  • Safari Mobile (since iPhone OS 3.0)
  • Android (since at least Android 1.6)

On all of these platforms, you should be able to use navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition, etc.
