I'm also having this problem, when i try to create a node with the Geolocation Field in, the Google map widget to select the location is not showing up, I cant create the location at all. This is happening in Internet Explorer 7 and 8 which are the browsers of choice for about 40% of my users.

marking #1311932: IE8 - Nothing... as a dup of this

What we did to combat this problem was, create 2 new fields called longitude and latitude and then hiding the Geolocation field in IE in the CSS, also hiding the longitude and latitude fields for other browsers in CSS. Then by adding a computed field we are able to store the values from which ever versions are populated. Using the Module Field group we were also able to add help text to send them to a few sites that they could enter their address and receive their longitude and latitude values. Hope this helps until the module is patched or fixed.

Has anyone found a better solution to this problem?
