Is there an easy way to design a website to facilitate an iphone user providing gps coordinates to the site? I am wondering if there might be a naming convention for form fields for example, to let the user input in an automated way. I am considering building a location based website and would like to tailor it for iphone (and other m...
I am trying to use the Google Earth API to create a simple view of the globe with a search field in which the user can type a location. When they hit go, the globe will zoom in on the location they typed in. I would like the view to be looking straight down on the location they specified. I have tried the following code: var lookAt = g...
I'm kind of a javascript noob, and I'm trying to use the new geolocation API in Firefox 3.5 to get an estimation of the user's coordinates and put that into a text box in a form. What I have doesn't seem to be working; it seems like the boxes are filled before the location is actually retreived. Here's what I have so far: <html> <head> ...
I have an array of CLLocation objects and I'd like to be able to compare them to get distance from a starting CLLocation object. The math is straight forward but I'm curious if there is a convenience sort descriptor to go about doing this? Should I avoid NSSortDescriptor and write a custom compare method + bubble sort? I'm usually compar...
Is there any way to get the location of a cell phone (i.e. latitude/longitude) automatically when the user views a web page? This will primarily be used outside of the United States, so if there is some international standard that the US may or may not follow, that's what I'd need to know. ...

I am doing a mashup using Google Maps under Grails where users can create geofences by selecting a point on the map and a radius.

If the poin...
Hi everyone! Has anyone implemented the Yahoo Fire Eagle API in a Java / Grails application? How did you do it? I want to poll their REST web service with my Grails application. Yahoo offers some API Kits for various programming languages such as PHP, Ruby, etc. Unfortunately, there is nothing similar available for Java / Groovy (there...
I want to check a particular website from various locations. For example, I see a site example.com from the US and it works fine. The colleague in Europe says he cannot see the site (gets a dns eror). Is there any way I can check that for my self instead of asking him every time? ...
I have GPS information presented in the form: 36°57'9" N 110°4'21" W I can use the javascript functions of Chris Veness to convert degrees, minutes and seconds to numeric degrees, but first need to parse the GPS info into the individual latitude and longitude strings (with NSEW suffixes). I have read related posts on stackoverflow, but...
The navigator.geolocation api for user positioning is now also supported by Firefox and not just Safari/Iphone. I suspect it will become a well suported api as more devices support positioning. Anyone know how to detect support of this api so that google analytics can chart it? ...
I'm working on an IP geolocation library that uses the first three octets of an IPv4 address to determine a user's country, city, lat, lon, etc. Works like a charm. But it doesn't handle IPv6 addresses, and I'd like it to do so. Is there any way to transform an IPv6 address to get the equivalent of the first three octets of an IPv4 add...

I'm wondering if there is an algorithm for calculating the nearest locations (represented by lat/long) in better than O(n) time. I know I could use the Haversine formula to get the distance from the reference point to each location and sort ASC, but this is inefficient for large data sets. How does the MySQL DISTANCE() function perform...
