Gears doesn't currently support iPhones or Blackberries. It would be a good solution for the supported Windows Mobile/Android devices, though.
For Blackberries, you can get the current position via the blackberry.position javascript object (http://www.tonybunce.com/ 2008/05/08/Blackberry-Browser-Amp-GPS.aspx). I don't know if iPhone supports a similar method of getting position via javascript. rob On Mar 11, 1:31 pm, porwig <[email protected]> wrote: > I represent a client who has asked me to find a developer for their > commercial project.
