Hi Jan,<div><br></div><div>this tutorial isn't bad,<a href="http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/mobile-web-apps/html5-geolocation/">http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/mobile-web-apps/html5-geolocation/</a> there are also a couple of hits off of google if you search html5 geolocation and openlayers that are helpful.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Essentially, what you do with the results of the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition is up to you, you can either pass this to a marker, or vector layer, suck it into a dbase and spit it back to OL in your choice of formats.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I found this tutorial helpful, you'll have to adapt it to OL since it uses Google Maps, but functionally this will get your head straight. This uses a YQL for backup geolocation.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Take a look at the following overview as well. This has code that deals with the API's of a number of mobile devices as well and will use google's gears for backup geolocation by IP.</div><div><br></div><div>
happy hunting!</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 26, 2011 at 2:21 PM, Tue Topholm <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tt@sugee.dk">tt@sugee.dk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
