geolocation

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)getApp().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); //getApp() returns my Application object locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER , 1, 1, this); locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 1, 1, this); That's the code I'm using to listen. With GPS enabled, everything works fine. However, if I disable GPS and rely on network location, it gives me stale results -- in this case, from two days ago. I cannot get it to update. Calling getLastKnownLocation returns the same stale results.

I would like to know how I can get the country name from latitude & longitude using JavaScript. I am open to use of Google Maps’ JavaScript API. Can I also get city and zip? Edit: My aim is to fill up the address field automatically, not to display it on a map. Christian I don't know if it works with google maps, but there is a web service that returns a country code and takes as parameters the lat and long. Here is an example: http://api.geonames.org/countryCodeJSON?lat=49.03&lng=10.2&username=demo Returns a JSON data: {"languages":"de","distance":"0","countryCode":"DE","countryName":"Germany

I was reading this question here: What datatype to use when storing latitude and longitude data in SQL databases? And it seems the general consensus is that using Decimal(9,6) is the way to go. The question for me is, how accurate do I really need this? For instance, Google's API returns a result like: "lat": 37.4219720, "lng": -122.0841430 Out of -122.0841430, how many digits do I need? I've read several guides but I can't make enough sense out of them to figure this out. To be more precise in my question: If I want to be accurate within 50 feet of the exact location, how many decimal points
