It did come up on my mobile and ask me to use my location

But I did not see a map of where I was ; only of the floor plans of meeting 
room etc

This is the venue map page: http://tools.ietf.org/rooms ?

The reason is so that it can display where you are on the map.

Right. I had opened this page in a background tab so I didn't make the 
connection.

Safari on the Mac doesn't seem to be able to find its location at all, 
though. And as there's no GPS reception indoors (certainly not without any 
windows) I doubt _any_ system could provide a location that is accurate 
enough to be usable here.

p.s. UI design doesn't seem to be a strong point here - modal notifications 
are an annoyance.  Firefox 4.0 gets it almost right, but the dialog 
appearance and usability suck.

A popup is ok if it's a reaction to a user action, not so much immediately 
upon loading the page. As long as we're providing constructive criticism: on 
the little program booklet the maps are tiny but still mostly readable, but 
on the web page the text is too small to be deciphered.
