Can you try the latest in Subversion? I made some (minor) changes to the API 
selection routine. See 
[BuildingFromSource] for instructions.

i confirm this issue. Doesn't work too on my iMac... working properly on FF 
3.5.7, Android 1.6 & iPhone 3.1.2. 
i'm going to try the lastest version.

Well, I *can't* confirm the issue (Safari 4.0.4, OS X 10.6): the page 
http://sharemyposition.appspot.com/ 
yields the correct warning "Geolocation API is not supported. You need to use a 
iPhone, Android Phone or 
Firefox browser (> 3.5)." and the button is disabled.

However, I think I know what's going on: Perhaps you installed Gears on the 
same system *on a different 
browser*. That way, Safari gets the Gears plugin too, but not properly 
installed. Technically, the page 'sees' 
the window.google.gears.factory attribute, but cannot invoke any operations on 
it. As a result, the Gears API is 
selected in the 'geolocation.api' GWT property selector, but won't work.

At least, that's what happened on my system. On another Mac, I installed Gears 
from a .dmg download, which 
succeeded, and works just fine.

Try removing Library/Internet Plugins/Gears.plugin from your system, restart 
Safari, see what happens. Or 
install Geolocation API from SVN head, which fixes the problem (on my system at 
least).

just a word... "congratulation"... that was exactly this problem .. so under 
mac os leopard + Safari .. REMOVE 
Google Gears ;-)

Well, only if installed improperly (and you need to remove the plugin before a 
re-install of Gears).

Anyway, I'll close the bug and upload a 'sharper' Geolocation API 0.9.5.

Gears is 32bit only (on Mac at least)
