However, it is considerably cheaper to do a network request to help position you than to spin up the GPS — both in terms of time and in terms of battery.

It’s a cool feature, I hope it gets more use. Just tell me where the nearest store is, don’t make me go to “Find a store” and fill something out!

Did Opera implement a “Send this as my location: [combo editbox with populated list]” for people who want to misrepresent their position, or get information for where they’re *going* to be? Did anyone write such an extension for Firefox?
