What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Submit a geocode parameter to the JavaScript API, similar to i.e. the Python
API:
http://www.google.com/buzz/post?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com%2F&message=test&geoc
ode=37.421776,-122.084155
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Google Buzz JavaScript dialog should show having accepted the geo location.
Currently this parameter is ignored, so it is not possible to post a geo
location with the JavaScript API and a non-mobile browser.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Current JavaScript API on Linux x86_64, Firefox 4 Beta 6 and Chromium
6.0.472.62.
Please provide any additional information below.
Together with HTML5 geolocation or i.e. a Google Maps frame you could pass the
geolocation to the popup as parameter or even inside the popup before sending
the message.
This would allow non-mobile browsers to post Buzz messages for any location,
i.e. before, during or after public events.
And it would allow a Chrome or Firefox extension or Jetpack to enhance the Buzz
experience easily.
And don't forget: GPS is not always working on mobile phones.
I tried to buzz with a Samsung Galaxy S and I couldn't choose the correct
geolocation.
And even there choosing a geolocation from Google Maps seems to be missing.
At least it should be possible when I use Google Maps on Android that I just
long-tap on a map location and be able to buzz to that geolocation.
