Firefox OS application to share a geolocation
On my Geeksphone Keon, geolocalisation is currently broken (returns very inaccurate results). This application allows to select current location on a card.
This application uses the GeoNames API, so you need to get an account from GeoNames.
If you use Firefox OS ≥ 1.2, a cursor on the map should allow to choose the accuracy, in meters (default 15m);
Install the application from http://hereiam.clochix.net and call it from other applications that need a geolocation with the WebActivity clochix.geoloc:
var activity = new window.MozActivity({
name: "clochix.geoloc"
});
activity.onsuccess = function () {
window.alert(this.result.coords.latitude);
window.alert(this.result.coords.longitude);
window.alert(this.result.coords.accuracy);
};
activity.onerror = function () {
window.alert(this.error.name);
};
