I'm building a mobile map using the Google Map API V3. The is a little different than a standard map in that I have categories of markers than you can turn on/off. Everything works great, but I can't seem to get geolocation working. I've tried every combination and code snippet I can find and at most I can get it to register the location request, but it will not display a marker there no matter what I do. I'm sure I'm doing something very simple wrong, but I'm very new to Javascript so the answer is evading me.
Here is a shortened version of my current code (contains an example of everything, but cuts out a lot of the repetitive variables). This example doesn't include the geolocation functions since I've tried so many in different ways I'm not sure which one I would even put on here. The toggleMarkers() function is what I'm using to turn on/off the markers and I'm guessing that's where the problem is for the geolocation marker being displayed. If you could show me how to implement geolocation within this code I would greatly appreciate it!
var markers = [];

map.setTilt(0);
