[OpenLayers-Users] connect ol-mobile to interne gps-device

[Noli Sicad]

In order for the internal GPS in iphone/android/ mobile devices
available in OpenLayers, you need to have GPS device (Objective-C for
iphone / Java for Android) javascript bindings.

BTW,

1. Geolocation API Specification (http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html)
2. html5-geolocation
(http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/mobile-web-apps/html5-geolocation/)

are not using GPS internal, it using internet connection for
Geolocation i.e. WWW Geolocation.

Good example in OpenLayers using WWW Geolocation in mobile is in the
OpenLayers 2.11 RC. example. Have a look on mobile_jq.html (jquery
mobile). Open it and press the locate footer button.
