Would be great if this app could show the user location from gps (for mobile 
devices).

Im using this code to make this (outside this app)

function displayLocation(position){
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, 
position.coords.longitude);

                if (! myMarker) {
                    // build entire marker first time thru
                    var image = new google.maps.MarkerImage('blue_dot_circle.png',
                        new google.maps.Size(38, 38), // size
                        new google.maps.Point(0, 0), // origin
                        new google.maps.Point(19, 19) // anchor
                    );
                    var shadow = '';

                    myMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
                        position: myLatLng,
                        map: map,
                        shadow: shadow,
                        icon: image,
                        title: 'I might be here'
                    });
                } else {
                    // just change marker position on subsequent passes
                    myMarker.set_position(myLatLng);
                }
                // center map view on every pass
                map.set_center(myLatLng);
                //map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);
            }

function handleError(error){
                switch (error.code){
                    case error.PERMISSION_DENIED:
                        alert('Para ver el mapa debes aceptar la solicitud de localizacion.');
                        break;
                    case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:
                        alert('Lo sentimos. No pudimos detectar tu ubicacion.');
                        break;
                    default:
                        alert('Codigo de Error: ' + error.code);
                }
            }

if (useragent.indexOf('iPhone') != -1 || useragent.indexOf('Android') != -1 ) {
                // allow iPhone or Android to track movement
                navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(displayLocation, handleError);
            } else if (navigator.geolocation) {
                // or let other geolocation capable browsers to get their static position
                navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(displayLocation, handleError);
            }

im not the owner of the code, just using it...

hope it can be usefull to view this feature soon
