The following code shows how to access the current location of the user:


function response(data) {
  var owner = data.get("req").getData();
  var location = 
      owner.getField(opensocial.Person.Field.CURRENT_LOCATION);
  if (location) {
    var locality =
        location.getField(opensocial.Address.Field.LOCALITY) || 
        "No locality";
    var country = 
        location.getField(opensocial.Address.Field.COUNTRY) || 
        "No country";
    alert([locality, country].join(", "));
  }

};

function request() {
  var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
  var params = {};
  params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS] = [
    opensocial.Person.Field.CURRENT_LOCATION
  ];

  req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest(
      opensocial.IdSpec.PersonId.OWNER, params), "req");
  req.send(response);

};

request(); 


However, orkut still has a bug where this information should be returned in the
"Adresses" field as well.

Summary: orkut does not return CURRENT_LOCATION information in ADDRESSES field
