I just tried your code on a brand new 8800 running on AT&T, which I figured might be more open to browser access to GPS than Verizon devices, which have a history of being crippled. However, I get the same result: 0,0.
GPS can, however, be accessed by Java apps via JSR179.
Has anyone had any success with browser location?

As soon as I pull up a webpage with the previous JavaScript in it which uses the Blackberry location object, I get a popup window asking:
Code:
A JavaScript has requested the physical location of your device. Do you wish to provide this to the script?
I choose YES and I am always told...
Code:
Your new position is 0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude.
