Truly revolutionary: now you can write geolocation applications
directly in the browser, rather than develop native apps for
particular devices. This concise book demonstrates the W3C
Geolocation API in action, with code and examples to help you build
HTML5 apps using the "write once, deploy everywhere" model. Along
the way, you get a crash course in geolocation, browser support,
and ways to integrate the API with common geo tools like Google
Maps. Ideal for experienced JavaScript developers. Learn how geo
information is gathered from different sources, depending on the
device Discover how coordinate systems work, including geodetic
systems and datums Use the API to collect location information from
a user's browser with JavaScript code Place geo information on a
map using the Google Maps or ArcGIS JavaScript APIs Save geo data
with databases, the Keyhole Markup Language, or the shapefile
format Be familiar with several practical uses for geo data, such
as geomarketing, geosocial, geotagging, and geo-applications
