Geolocation
With the integration of this JavaScript API, Firefox can now plot maps, give directions, attach location information to pictures, attach a source location to individual blog posts, etc. And although it exposes a single API to web developers, Mozilla reports that it “can potentially be backed by a number of different location sources. Examples include the Skyhook service, which guesses your location based on nearby access points, a GPS device in your mobile computer or hand-setting a fixed location where your desktop lives.”
