Summary07456: Sometimes the users location is important
Description

For a vast number of usercases it would be very usefull to have the users physical location automatically and easily saved as a variable.

It could be for community projects or store evaluations/customer feedback.

This off course would especially be usefull for surveys conducted via smartphones.

Additional Information

A possible solution: Use modern browsers geolocation / W3 Geolocation API
I might be mistaken - but for a java wiz I guess it should be very easy to include this functionality?

Here is an early post from firefox: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2009/06/geolocation/
and the w3 specification http://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API/

All modern smartphone browsers and new chrome/firefox/safari/opera has this capability.

Everything works transparent: The user has to agree to give up the physical location. - So it's just an easy way to obtain the relevant info.

Ideally the user could be shown a map (like this example: https://www.mozilla.com/en-GB/firefox/geolocation/) and accept or choose to refine.

I guess long/lat will be the easiest to implement. Then later someone might provide an adress lookup.

TagsNo tags attached.
