Jay,

The locate button has a dependency on your app using the https protocol. If you app is not running in https the button will not show.

Dang that was it...thanks....

I have one more question sort of unrelated and might just post in another post...

I have vehicle Laptops that have GPS...Can I tie this into the vehicles GPS...not on a phone?

Jay,

If the browser is aware of the GPS then yes (this sometimes require third party software).
