Add geolocation component

[francesco]

for one my high priority project i need to save the position of the user.

Sencha has it (http://training.figleaf.com/tutorials/senchacomplete/chapter2/lesson9/5.cfm) probablby there is a open source counterpart you can wrap.

A use case:
1) user logs in into a mobile web app used to track tasks
2) user does Task1 and clicks on "Done" button
3) Task1 is marked as done and Done at POSITION is stored into db
POSITION comes from the geolocation component.

Please let me know your plans about this.

Hi francesco,

Sencha framework is identical to phohegap libraries.
These libraries are like a bridge between the browser and device.
Unfortunately, we have no any "bridge" implemented.

Best Regards.

Hi. Do you mean in an intraweb application it will never be possible to get geolocation?
wrapping a part of phonegap in a cgdevtools control is not possible?

Hi francesco,

It's possible to use geolocation of browser html5 (only when supported).
Libraries like Sencha and phonegap gives you more control.

You can use the ExtraHeader property of form to insert your javascript function, which will return the coordinates.

Hello

Also, you can use the GeoLocation example in GMap3 demo

But please note, that one thing is executing with and without GPS.

Without it, it uses the provider IP.

This is interesting.
Is it possible to use the GMap3 approach in a mobile app by using it only to retrieve the position (= being able to save latitude and longitude)?.

Hi

Sure, you don't need the map at all, its an embedded service.

Ok so let's say we have the geolocation component throug Gmap3. Of course the user must be trained that to achieve the best result wifi + GPS must be on (and GPS must be ok). Thanks.
