geolocation

I have made a Google map that lets you input an address into a text field. It then navigates you to the address that you entered into the text field and leaves a draggable marker that when dragged shows you the Lat and Long and The Geolocated Address. I instead of displaying the above address, would like when you drag the marker to display in the bottom corner the Address of the Marker and the not the inputted address from the text field. I have tried a number of methods to no avail. lonlat[0].formatted_address was amongst some of the things i tried. I got my reference from Google My code is

Possible Duplicate: Location detecting techniques for IP addresses For our website it's important to know from exactly which country our visitor is coming from. I guess the best answer for my question would be the simple geo location feature of current browser systems, which just ask the user if the website is allowed to see his geographic location: http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html but I don't want to bother visitor with questions, I would love to automatically detects the visitor's location (country should be enough.) What's the best way to do this? - what ip database would be the

Given that the mapkit doesn't provide forward geocoding functionality today, can anyone provide help on how I can i use a search bar to return a latitude and longitude coordinate from a user inputted address today. If someone can provide sample code that would be great. iOS 5 now allows for forward Geocoding: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/UsingGeocoders/UsingGeocoders.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009497-CH4-SW5 I hope this helps! Merrimack I've created a forward geocoding API for Google's geocoding server. Check out my

Google Maps can now pinpoint my location with street precision with the help of Firefox. I understand this is a new feature of HTML 5 compatible browsers and that the location is fetched by using some sort of feature of the connected WiFi network (I hope I'm not making any silly assumptions). What I intend to know is how this whole process exactly works: Why only in HTML 5? Why / how does Firefox ask me to share my location with Google Maps? What is the normal precision one can count on? How can I implement this feature in my websites? Thanks in advance! How does it work? When you visit a

Is it necessary to turn both Internet and GPS on before I can read my current location(country, city, locality etc) in my app? If they are, then any alternative way to get the location only from GPS? since the internet availability is an issue. As others have said, you do not need internet for GPS. GPS is basically a satellite based positioning system that is designed to calculate geographic coordinates based on timing information received from multiple satellites in the GPS constellation. GPS has a relatively slow time to first fix (TTFF), and from a cold start (meaning without a last known
