gps lat lon and browser

[Cor]

Hello,

We have a site which uses the google maps.

But I cannot find a way to get the GPS coordinates from the android and pass it through to the browser not b4a browser component) but the default browser in android.


Is there a way to get the android GPS coordinates and pass it to the browser
so i can update my location.

thanks

You should get the GPS coordinates with the GPS library and then pass the coordinates as part of the URL (there should be several examples of this in the forum) to the browser.

You can either create the Intent manually or use PhoneIntents.OpenBrowser.

Have you looked at the HTML5 GeoLocation API?

You can do this entirely in your webpage with no need to use any B4A code.

HTML 5 location is to unprecise from the orginal location.

?

It uses the same hardware and underlying APIs as a B4A app would use.

The accuracy should be equal - unless the uses does not allow the HTML5 webpage permission to use the maximum accuracy available?
