Mobile, GPS, .NET, Google Maps

Question

I want to know if it is technically possible to capture the position of a mobile phone with GPS from an application in the mobile phone. And send this position to a web service to represent the location from a web page.

Does the phone have to have a special feature or a brand / model specific? Can you write the trace information in a file. Kmz (google earth)?

Currently the management application is a web application framework. Net 1.1 with sql server 2005 back.

Any information would be appreciated.

Greetings and thanks

Answer 1

Yes, it's technically possible, as long as the phone has a GPS receiver, and you allow for the times when the GPS receiver cannot determine its position (when the satellite signals aren't strong enough).

Any additional information would be phone operating system (Android, iOS) specific.
