Geo Location Function

[Thomas]

Will there be a Javascript-Function to detect the geo-data like latitude and longitude of the mobile device?

In jqTouch, for example, you receive it this way:

var lookup = jQT.updateLocation(function (coords) {       

        if (coords) {

            lat = coords.latitude;

            lng = coords.longitude;         

        }

}

Hi Thomas,

There is a Geolocation object in the HTML5 spec, which resides in navigator.geolocation. By now it is widely supported by desktop and mobile browsers and you can use the W3C standardized getCurrentPosition, watchPosition and clearWatch.
