So…I wrote a quick “Find Me” app using the map widget and geolocation. It’s working beautifully.
When the iOS native app is started for the first time, there’s a dialogue:
“AppName would like to use location services”
Once into the app, if a page uses geolocation, there’s another dialogue:
“iphoneid/apps/AppName/page_name.html Would like to use location services”
This is a very long, incomprehensible (to users) dialogue that will cause confusion. I would like to suppress this if possible. I read on other forums that it’s not possible, as it’s written into the HTML5 standard.
Is there anything that can be done?

We are looking into this. I can replicate it with the showlocation example in an ios app.
Hello, I am developing an application, inside there will be a button for the current position, I tried to do it but only occasionally tells me exactly where I am, most of the time I like to be in Dallas. Could you help me? I do not know who to ask.
Thank you very muchIn the Test Center, it says Dallas. Compile it for your phone. It will use your real location.
You can also edit your location in Test Center, under Geolocation. You can put in co-ordinates.

I understand, but because I want to put my app on Apple Store, how do people who download my app to see their current location? I mean, my app will be a free for tourists and there will be a button do not get lost in the city.
Follow the geolocation code here, Section 3.4:

@1thinchip,
We found the cause of the issue and will share how to avoid dual notifications by tomorrow.

>Anxiously awaiting this solution…
Please revisit this example: http://www.genuitec.com/mobile/docs/usingMaps/usingMaps.html#center_on_current_loc
Notice that the snippet has been updated from the original to better account for native environment/phonegap. You should only see the traditional prompt for the app to use your location.
