Google loader client location doesn't work

[Alexey Zakharov]

I found that it possible to get client location by ip using google loader. However google.loader.ClientLocation is always null.

Is there any other Google api that will provider user location by ip. I need this because Opera Mini doesn't support browser geo location yet.

Unfortunately, no. In fact, members of the dev team (and I seem to recall an official statement, probably from the Gears team) have stated that we should not expect them to continue to support such functionality but to rely on the HTML5 geolocation API. Sadly, in the case of Opera Mini and Win Phone 7, I believe this leaves us in a lurch. I would suggest pleading with Opera to incorporate the functionality!
