Hey there -- Yes, the Geolocation API can retrieve Cell ID information to get a user's location (with their permission). The API is meant to abstract the way a user's location is retrieved so that the developer does not need to choose which method to use. Instead, you should use watchPosition to monitor the accuracy of the user's position. Then, when the accuracy level gets to a sufficient amount, you should use that position as the user's location.
In this manner, you won't have to worry about whether they have a GPS or a WiFi connection, etc. -Ben 2008/10/14 张福亮 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi, > > I see some information about Geolocation API, It seems that the Geolocation > API is able to automatic retrieve cell-id information,and the Geolocation > API can use the cell-id information to get user's location. > > All above is right or not ? > > I am confused if the API can automatic get location ,how it determine via > cell-id or GPS (If my device have all?
