Not sure if this will help, but there is a Locate Widget in the ESRI API:

require(["esri/dijit/LocateButton"],

geoLocate = new LocateButton({
            map: map
        }, "LocateButton");
        geoLocate.startup();

You may be having spatial reference issues (first port of call for any error with a mapping engine :) ). My code from an existing project converts the coordinates to web mercator before attempting to zoom to it:

var pt = esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(new esri.geometry.Point(lon, lat));
_map.centerAndZoom(pt, scale);
