One of the less heralded features of iPhone 3.0 OS is geolocation data
available inside Mobile Safari. This isn't actually a feature of 3.0 per se,
but rather part of the HTML 5 spec. So, next Wednesday when you update your
phone to 3.0, the following code sample should return your latitude and
longitude. This already works in the latest betas of Firefox 3.5:
<html>
<head>
<title>Geolocation Test Page</title>
<script>
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
document.write("Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br
/>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude);
});
} else {
alert("Geolocation services are not supported by this browser.");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
