Try this example and let me know if it works for you. The example uses a 
slightly modified geo.js library.

hey,
good idea. the problem with that is that "navigator.geolocation" should have 
the highest priority since for example in lots of blackberry devices there is 
gears but its really not working at all. also for android needs to have 
priority, gears is a fallback. what i wanted to ask you if there is a way to 
keep the initial order and extend

"else if (typeof(navigator.geolocation) != u)"

to match your case, maybe something like

"else if (typeof(navigator.geolocation) != u && 
typeof(navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition) != u)"

there has to be a way detect and exclude your faulty configuration.  

Do you know what I mean?

Ah, thanksi, now I know why it's so important that navigator.geolocation has 
such a high priority.

I'm not quite sure what you mean exactly.

Unfortunately it's useless to use navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition, 
because this is also defined in Chrome (although not executed, Chrome still 
needs Gears).

Whar about such a construct?

  if (typeof navigator.geolocation != 'undefined') {
     if (typeof google.gears != 'undefined') {
       gl = google.gears.factory.create('beta.geolocation');
     }
     else {
      gl = navigator.geolocation;
    }
  }
