=====================================

Mobile and Desktop Javascript Library for Geolocation Fallback. Based on geo-location-javascript framework (http://code.google.com/p/geo-location-javascript).

Target Browsers

The aim of this library is to provide support for Geolocation mainly for old browsers such us:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8
Blackberry
Palm OS

Usage

Include Javascript Library file called geoPosition.js in your source code:

<script src="js/geoPosition.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

then call it this way:

<script type="text/javascript">
	if(geoPosition.init()){  // Geolocation Initialisation
			geoPosition.getCurrentPosition(success_callback,error_callback,{enableHighAccuracy:true});
	}else{
			// You cannot use Geolocation in this device
	}
	geoPositionSimulator.init(); 

	// p : geolocation object
	function success_callback(p){
		// p.latitude : latitude value
		// p.longitude : longitude value
	}

	function error_callback(p){
		// p.message : error message
	}
</script>

If you want to use simulated geoPositions for tasks such us mocking up you must include geoPositionSimulator.js

<script src="js/geoPositionSimulator.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

Then you have got to declare an array with the simulated locations this way:

<script type="text/javascript">
	var locations=new Array({ coords: {
										latitude: 	30.2847664,
										longitude: -97.7264275
										} 
									}); // Simulated Positions
	if(geoPosition.init()){  // Geolocation Initialisation
			geoPosition.getCurrentPosition(success_callback,error_callback,{enableHighAccuracy:true});
	}else{
			// You cannot use Geolocation in this device
	}
	geoPositionSimulator.init(); 
	
	// p : geolocation object
	function success_callback(p){
		// p.latitude : latitude value
		// p.longitude : longitude value
	}

	function error_callback(p){
		// p.message : error message
	}
</script>

Javascript Coding Guidelines

My first rule of thumb is "Keep it simple, stupid!". So, please take a look at Google JavaScript Style Guide (http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javascriptguide.xml)
