Answer 2

Assuming you mean the geolocation API,

Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Using_geolocation

Safari: http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/GettingGeographicalLocations/GettingGeographicalLocations.html

Opera: http://my.opera.com/core/blog/geolocation-enabled-build

And more about that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W3C_Geolocation_API

Answer 3

Geolocation on Safari for iPhone only

Google Chrome Beta has additional support: http://www.wait-till-i.com/2010/03/04/google-chrome-getting-navigator-geolocation/

Unfortunately, Opera 10.50 does not seem to have geolocation, which is a bit of a bummer, considering how wonderful this is in most other cases. (Video, audio, CSS3 + enhancements Karakan really smokes V8, Squirrelfish and Tracemonkey.)
