If you're reluctant to use cookies, why not have a URL that can include lat and lon? Users could (optionally) create the URL for their own location and then make a bookmark. Afterwards the browser brings them to their own ubisol data just from using the bookmark. For example: http://www.relojesdesol.org/UbiSolENG.html?+44.5,+63.5 The webserver ignores the part it doesn't know about, but you can still get at it from javascript. The relevant property is window.location.search which gives the string: ?+44.5,+63.5 which you can easily manipulate for processing as numbers. Steve -
