Philippe, That's absolutely great to hear.
For the new endeavor we are working on, this is essentially what we looked at doing if going with a web app instead of native, ie building a native component to focus on providing the LBS which could then be called by the webapp, or at worst, would do intermittent checks to a server to provide a location 'token' which the webapp could then check with. I wasn't sure myself if you could do javascript calls, so its nice to know that's possible. The only sad thing is that for industry reasons we'll need to get the location data directly from the phone rather than go through a third party, otherwise it sounds like you've already done the work we'd need. Alas. Kudos regardless. Jonathan On Jun 3, 10:41 am, "Philippe Furlan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, a native app manage the location information either Wifi-based or > build-in GPS if available.
