I'm getting the same issue. Disabling the GeolocationService in webkit fixes
temporally the situation. Is there a setting to disable the geo location
properly if there is no GPS on device?

I am facing same issue. The browser crashes when homepage (google.com) is being
loaded. If I stop the loading and divert it to some other sites (yahoo.com
etc.), it is not crashing.
Any pointers in this regard would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

As Comment 1 said, disable GeolocationService will fix this problem.
ALso try tp disable GEOLOACTION in WebKit.
Changed ENABLE_GEOLOCATION=1 to ENABLE_GEOLOCATION=0 in
WebCore/Android.derived.v8bindings.mk
Or add a GPS HAL will also fixed this problem.

Is there any way to get the Geolocation? From the browser or from another app?

You need to disable GPS/location based stuff.
You can disable this in the build system by removing
com.android.location.provider and com.android.location.provider.xml from
build/target/product/core.mk or by including core.mk in your platform specific
makefile and then filtering them out of the variable.
You can also hack GeolocationService.registerForLocationUpdates() in
GeolocationService.java to not update for GPS but this is a messier fix as it
is application side (webkit)

This upstream webkit patch fixes this issue for webkit alone:

Although other apps could behave errantly and not catch this exception or check
providers are enabled properly first, that behaviour is probably an app bug
that we should not try and plan ahead for though.
