Opera Browser now with Geolocation support!

The developers behind the Opera Browser are on a roll.

They are already working on the Opera 10 release which is going to be a huge update for the Opera users.

They also recently launched an edition that came with support for Opera Turbo technology.

Opera has now released a version of Opera Browser that features Geolocation API support.

This would allow the user to expose the browser’s geographical position which can be used by the web applications.

Opera spoke about this edition:

How the Opera Geolocation build works
Once you have downloaded and installed the build, check out the Geolocation API spec, and start playing with the functionality.
This build uses the Skyhook web service to retrieve the location information – this allows you to use the API even if you don’t have access to a GPS or triangulation device. To use this service you need to register your site on loki.com.
Additionally, if you’re running Windows XP you will also need to run svcsetup.exe, which ensures that wifi scanning will not be affected by the various “wifi managers” shipped with many laptops. All this won’t be necessary in future releases.
