Is it possible to obtain the Latitude and Longditude of a device without actually using a map widget?

Hello,

below is code that I used in the past for a device with GPS enabled. I just called it with a button onclick. Have not tried it with Mobione though.

function getLocation() {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(foundLocation, noLocation);
function foundLocation(position) {

var lat = position.coords.latitude;
var long = position.coords.longitude;
alert(“LAT : “+lat +”, LONG : “+long);
}
}

function noLocation() {
alert(‘Could not find location’);
}
}

Cheers…

Hello,

I just tested this URL with a html container in mobione and it gave me back the lat and long plus more.
