There is a new geo-location API that is part of the HTML5 technology set
that browsers use to determine your position and can then be used to
deliver specific content if that is what you're referring to?
It's easily interfaced with JavaScript and largely based on latitude and
longitudinal values, so if you defined a "radius" that encompasses the
coordinates that their device returns, then you can trigger a flag and
deliver content that is targeted to them. The only drawback is that the
browser usually pushes a notification to the user whether to share their
location or not. So if they don't allow it, then they don't get the
offer. Alternatively, you could even make this an analytics exercise by
firing a tracking script if they share their location with the browser.
Could determine if certain regions are more prone to this type of marketing.
Hope this helps,

Hey gang,
Thought I would reach out and see if anyone had an advice, resources,
or direction for me here. I'm looking to display content on a website
based on a users location. I'm doing some work for a company that has
stores in different areas around the country and I need to display a
different phone number or other location specific information from the
same website. (This is not for mobile devices)
I've looked around a bit and would prefer not to pay for a service if
at all possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rusty Fincke
