I tired opening the dev demo on dev.ffwdmejs.org on my windows phone 8.1 and the "Wait for Geolocation" overlay does not go away after the map has centered to current location

Hi!

Thank you for your report, I'm trying to elaborate a bit here and hopefully I can help you.

First of all, the dev.ffwdmejs.org demo is not really meant to be used with mobile devices. It's more of a debugging playground for local development on the desktop. However, in general it should work on mobile devices too.

I don't have a windows phone at hand, but I can try to make a couple of assumptions:

I guess the win mobile 8.1 browser can utilize the geoposition, because leaflet (the map) uses it too and it centers the map. ffwdme itself has its own listener on the geoposition and emits its own events, once the geoposition is aquired. In this case, the following happens:

ffwdme.on('geoposition:ready', function() {
  console.info("Received initial geoposition!");
  $('#loader').remove();
});

So my first guess would be that your browser does not support the console.info interface and therefore raises an error before it can remove the loader element.

I'm currently working on a mobile optimized standalone demo for the lib so people can try it out on their mobile devices.

Closing this for now. Please reopen if there is anything new to report.
