Hello -
I need to retrieve latitude & longitude information from cellphones carried by delivery trucks. I've found a few examples of how this can be done here:

Is it possible to retrieve cell phone location information from a server side application? Could the server obtain permission from the cellphone without the need to install an application on the cellphone itself?
Obviously, I don't have experience with cell phone application development, so I'm just looking for some general guidelines for developing an app. that could pull this information from a variety of cell phones.
I am hoping that I wouldn't need to develop an application for a bazillion different cell phone operating systems. Is there a standard platform I should code for.
I am an asp.net, c# developer.
Thanks for any advice.
