Because you’re just the kind of people that I like to thank, for your work that still work two years after, and is robust, clear and easy to use.

Thank you

That example is so good! Thank you for sharing it. It took me a bit of time to figure out why it was not working at first and it turned out to be the CSS selector issue using the “I might be here” title. I was using a different dynamic one.

Is there another way to still select the right element to style when a dynamic custom title is used with possibly multiple markers. What it seems to be is that there has to be a static way to select it (or them if i have many markers).

Thanks for reading!

Thank-you for this! Now I’ve gotta sleep on it for a day or so, and play with it a while, but if I want to change the size of the outer rings to reflect the “accuracy” of the geolocation (where available), I presume I can modify the style in the DOM in the watchPosition handler. Maybe if I want to get really fance I can couple the scale of the pulsar with the accuracy of the geolocation *and* the scale of the map as the user zooms in or out.

I’ve just gotta study it to figure out what to modify … unless you’ve got a quick answer …

Great tutorial. I’m trying to recreate this on Bing Maps but I can’t figure out how to get the blue dot to appear. The rings appear and pulsate fine, just no blue dot.

I’m guessing it has to do with the way Bing uses its Icon Image. Any ideas?

Thanks for doing this! If you git checkout -b gh-pages ; git push -u origin gh-pages from your master branch, you’ll get an automatically github-hosted result of the second branch like http://johan.github.com/GeoLocateMe/ (but for your github user name’s). You can even drop master and only have the latter, for ease of updates.

The blue marker image could use a little smoother alpha channel transition from transparent to its outer rim; it looks a little pixely-jagged at the moment.

Changing the mobile-specific part at the end of the CSS from “#map_canvas …” to “#map …” solves the off-center blue dot problem. Thanks for this code Steve.

@Steve
We’re doing some testing now that we’ve reconciled your ‘blue dot’ map with our custom embedded map.
The geolocation accuracy script helped quite a bit.
But we’ve run into an issue where the dot doesn’t follow you around in real time. You have to update the page each time to see where you are. This is in Safari on iPad.
Do you know if it’s possible to have the dot follow you around in real time like it does in the ‘Maps’ app? Or does it necessitate a page refresh each time?
