Very nice..

Wouldn’t it be more correct to include the google api script only if the native geolocation wouldn’t work?

Cheers, and thanks for a great example..

Thanks for this- I was hoping the usage was as simple as it seemed based on a quick read of the API. Your example gives me quite a bit of encouragement.

Thanks for the brief article Marc. I can’t wait for Google’s API 3 with the inclusion of bike paths… I’m on a bike and…

i keep getting undefined any idea?

hi there.

How can I check if user accepted the geolocation check or not?
I’d like to initialize a map, then navigate to the myLocation coordinates.

solved my problem.

thanks!

I just ran across you blog today. I must say it is a nice resource so far. I just finished reading your ‘how to be a great web developer’ and it’s nice to know I am going about it in the right way; I just started up a blog myself.

In fact, one of my first posts was using the Google API with C#:
http://offbyone.us:8888/?p=171

Super easy and fun.

Kinda wish I had found you before I wrote it, though. Then again, I probably would have been bugging you instead of troubleshooting until I found out about if (!IsPostBack) and the ASP.NET page life cycle.

By the way, let me add two things.

First, I know you are an open source guy; I wouldn’t have asked you about .net. I am also and learning to use jQuery and that is why I ran across your blog.

And secondly, I wish there were a way to have two different gravitar icons available to me with my main email address. Having my WoW toon show up next to my post has to detract something from my statements. I am off to add an email and icon to gravitar.

Anywho wtb edit button.

Now that I have mad an idiot of myself. Thanks again for your blog.

Hi every One

try this is is very simple

 Dim ipAddress As String = "202.147.177.132"

        Dim req As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://ipinfodb.com/ip_query.php?ip=" & ipAddress)

        Dim resp As WebResponse = req.GetResponse()

        Dim s As Stream = resp.GetResponseStream()

        Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(s, Encoding.ASCII)

        Dim doc As String = sr.ReadToEnd() ’ get text to a string

        Dim length As Integer = doc.Length – 1

        Dim startInd As Integer = doc.IndexOf("<CountryCode>") + 13

        doc = doc.Substring(startInd)

        length = doc.Length – 1

        Dim tagStart As Integer = doc.IndexOf("<")

        Dim code As String = doc.Remove(tagStart, length – tagStart)

        startInd = doc.IndexOf("<CountryName>") + 13

        doc = doc.Substring(startInd)

        length = doc.Length – 1

        tagStart = doc.IndexOf("<")

        Dim Country As String = doc.Remove(tagStart, length – tagStart)

        startInd = doc.IndexOf("<RegionName>") + 12

        doc = doc.Substring(startInd)

        length = doc.Length – 1

        tagStart = doc.IndexOf("<")

        Dim RegionName As String = doc.Remove(tagStart, length – tagStart)

        startInd = doc.IndexOf("<City>") + 6

        doc = doc.Substring(startInd)

        length = doc.Length – 1

        tagStart = doc.IndexOf("<")

        Dim City As String = doc.Remove(tagStart, length – tagStart)

        startInd = doc.IndexOf("<ZipPostalCode>") + 15

        doc = doc.Substring(startInd)

        length = doc.Length – 1

        tagStart = doc.IndexOf("<")

        Dim ZipCode As String = doc.Remove(tagStart, length – tagStart)

        startInd = doc.IndexOf("<Latitude>") + 10

        doc = doc.Substring(startInd)

        length = doc.Length – 1

        tagStart = doc.IndexOf("<")

        Dim Latitude As String = doc.Remove(tagStart, length – tagStart)

        startInd = doc.IndexOf("<Longitude>") + 11

        doc = doc.Substring(startInd)

        length = doc.Length – 1

        tagStart = doc.IndexOf("<")

        Dim Longitude As String = doc.Remove(tagStart, length – tagStart)

i don’t understand about script, btw i found script like this, maybe usefully…thanks^^
<script type="text/javascript">
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successFunction, errorFunction);
} else {
alert('Geolocation Not Support');
}

function successFunction(position) {
var lat = position.coords.latitude;
var long = position.coords.longitude;
alert('Latitude:'lat' Longitude:'+long);
document.write (lat);
document.write (long);
}

function errorFunction(position) {
alert('Error!');
}
</script>

ones more…for completely…xixixi

Tell me please, this code work with GPS navigator or he working only with IPlocation? And where can I see then this location? In my api account or In access log file In hosting? I dont understent about that. I can see this information fallback on the map or text with latitude and longitude?
