Using Javascript Geolocation API, SyntaxError: Unexpected Identifier in Chrome's Javascript console

Question

I am trying to get Location of user via javascript Geolocation API, and show a static image of the map using google maps API, but when I tried to run the script in a webpage, it didn't work,In chrome's javascript console, it says "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier". I am a bit confused because, there are no misplaced or extra semicolons. Here's the javascript code :

    var button = document.querySelector("#button");
    var output = document.querySelector("#output");

    window.onload = init;
    function init(){
        button.addEventListener('click',getPosition,false);
    }
    function getPosition(evt){
        var pos = navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition,onError,{enableHighAccuracy:true,maximamAge:2000});
        console.log(pos);
    }
    function showPosition(position){
        output.innerHTML = "Your Current position is <br/> Latitude : "+position.coords.latitude+" ,  Longitude : "+position.coords.longitude;
        var latlon = position.coords.latitude+","+position.coords.longitude;
        var img_url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center="+latlon+"&zoom=14&size=400x300&sensor=false";
        document.getElementById("mapholder").innerHTML = "<img src='"+img_url+"' />";
    }
    function onError(){
        output.innerHTML = "Something is wrong with your browser";
    }

When I checked this code on JSLint it says "Unexpected character ';' ". I tried a lot but I am unble to find what's causing the problem. Please help me with that, Any type of suggestions are also welcome.

the code you posted passes jslint just fine

Rows 15 and 16 end with wrong encoded semicolons, I replaced them with "normal" ones and it works.

This is the fiddle with your code: jsfiddle.net/ueon5xme It triggers the error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL", now replace the semicolons at the end of rows 21 and 22 and it will work :D

They seem to be unicode characters "U+037E" corresponding to "greek question mark"...
