<div>In a post a little while back I mentioned the iPhone OS 3 feature that lets javascript grab your position from the web browser. Several people asked for more info. I have a little test page set up:</div>
<div><a href="http://www1.findu.com/gps-test.html">http://www1.findu.com/gps-test.html</a></div>
<div>This will only work from a cell phone that supports this API. It is an open standard not designed by Apple, but I do not know what other phones (if any) support it now. The sample page pulls of the NWS radar nearest the cell phone's position and plots its position over the radar, so people outside of the US, sorry. Get your weather services to open up their radar images! Look at the page's source to see the tiny bit of javascript needed. Hopefully javascript based sites like openaprs will add this this feature, there is a lot of potential here...</div>

<div>There is a hook you can use at findu.... the wx page will query your iphone for a GPS posit. This accomplishes two things 1)you get the closest regional WX radar displayed, 2) more importantly your position is added to the aprs-IS system. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Will this work onBB? </div>
