Hi, Thanks! I have just finished implementing the query code (I started this yesterday using openbmap.org service, but they don't use exactly the same API yet). It's now working well with MLS with a reasonable accuracy. My next question is on how to handle the key. I think we need to keep it secret so people can't easily extract it from our web browser and start using it elsewhere. This means we can't hardcode it in our sourcecode like I did for the openbmap one currently: http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/network/libnetapi/Geolocation.cpp Do you have hints on how to handle that? Do you know how Firefox is doing it?
