Hello,
I've been using the navigator.geolocation.watchPosition() method for
nearly two months now and it has worked perfectly on both 2nd and 3ed
generation iPods with the latest firmware.
A few days ago, however, my iPod's Mobile Safari browser pretty much
stopped using GPS to geolocate and is instead using the IP address
which is grossly inaccurate. Basically, the first few success
callbacks return an accurate GPS location and then, for some reason,
it begins geolocating with the IP address. Again, up until a few days
ago everything was working perfectly and all the locations were very
accurate GPS coordinates.
Additionally, when I try to use the navigator.geolocation.watchPosition
() or navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() methods in Firefox
3.5.5 on my Windows machine, I receive the following error in Firebug:
response.location is undefined
var newLocation = new WifiGeoPositionObject
(response.location.latitude, \n (NetworkGeolocationProvider line
232)
Any idea what has changed in the past few days or what I need to learn
in order to continue geolocating in the manner I was doing before?
Everything worked so beautifully and I'm hopeful it will again.
Thanks,
Nikola
