We've added Google Gears to TripSailor

We've added Google Gears to TripSailor to help you auto-detect your current location.
How does it work?
When writing a new blog-post you have a link above the map called "Auto Detect your current location". When clicking on the link for the first time a pop-up will show up asking you to allow Google Gears to detect your current location.
The location is shown on the map. If Google Gears cannot tell precisely where you are at, it will typically place you in the center of the nearest major city. To correct the location - just drag and drop the marker.

As always your feedback is most welcome at tripsailor@gmail.com
