geolocation

Looking to implement better geo-location with Python. Hostip.info is an open-source project with the goal to build/maintain a database mapping IP addresses to cities . Their about page explains the data sources relied on to populate this database. Using HostIP, there are two ways to get location data from an IP address: They also have a well-designed and easy-to-use RESTFUL API : just pass in your ip address after the i***p=*** in the GET request string): import urllib response = urllib.urlopen('http://api.hostip.info/get_html.php?ip=12.215.42.19&position=true').read() print(response) Second,

I want to create 2 new longitude and 2 new latitudes based on a coordinate and a distance in meters, I want to create a nice bounding box around a certain point. It is for a part of a city and max ±1500 meters. I therefore don't think the curvature of earth has to be taken into account. So I have 50.0452345 (x) and 4.3242234 (y) and I want to know x + 500 meters, x - 500 meters, y - 500 meters, y + 500 meters I found many algorithms but almost all seem to deal with the distance between points. nibot The number of kilometers per degree of longitude is approximately (2*pi/360) * r_earth * cos

I would like to calculate the exact location of a mobile device inside a building ( so no GPS access) I want to do this using the signal strength(in dBm) of at least 3 fixed wifi signals(3 fixed routers of which I know the position) Google already does that and I would like to know how they figure out the exact location based on the this data Check this article for more details : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/63747/Exploring-GoogleGears-Wi-Fi-Geo-Locator-Secrets FSPL depends on two parameters: First is the frequency of radio signals；Second is the wireless transmission distance. The

i am looking for a good PHP geolocation service, so when i start my app i can have something like: <?php $service = new GeoLocService(); echo $service->getLat(); echo $service->getLng(); ?> to retrieve the position of the user in latitude and logitude values. Geo-location would need to be done in the browser, since the server (ie PHP) would never get to find out most of the relevant data. The main API for doing geolocation in the browser is Google's, but you as a developer wouldn't need to use that API; you'd use the browser's API, which is standardised (though only supported in a few browsers

We're looking for a fast and accurate way to get the visitors location based on their IP. We have tried ipinfodb.com but their API made our website severely lag when making the API call. What other services do you suggest? David Croft Get Geo-IP Information Requests a geo-IP-server (netip.de) to check, returns where an IP is located (host, state, country, town). <?php $ip='94.219.40.96'; print_r(geoCheckIP($ip)); //Array ( [domain] => dslb-094-219-040-096.pools.arcor-ip.net [country] => DE - Germany [state] => Hessen [town] => Erzhausen ) //Get an array with geoip-infodata function geoCheckIP(

How to get My Location changed event with Google Maps android API v2 ? In v1 you can do the next in order to handle location changed event: public class MyLocationOverlay extends com.google.android.maps.MyLocationOverlay { /** * Listener */ public interface Listener { void onLocationChanged(android.location.Location location); } private Listener listener; public MyLocationOverlay(Context context, MapView mapView, Listener listener) { super(context, mapView); this.listener = listener; } @Override public synchronized void onLocationChanged(Location location) { super.onLocationChanged(location);
