Geolocation in UIWebView

[chris66]

It would be great, if the WebView would support Javascript-Geolocation (like HTM5-localstore).
If supported, Files would be the perfect Tool for Offline-Maps!

not interesting?

Apologies for the delay replying!

We'll take a look into this. It may be that Geolocation in the web browser component is disabled for 3rd party applications.

AFAIK Phonegap does something very similar...

Chris,

Just had a look into this. It appears that the web browser in Files does support HTML5 location services. For example if you visit html5demos.com/geo iOS will prompt to access your current location.

Could you be more specific about what part of the Javascript location API is not working and is it working on iOS in other applications?

Thanks,

John

well like this example i made a simple one
http://kulturhandy.org/geoloc.html
download+unzip
http://kulturhandy.org/geoloc.zip

opening from file:///... i had no success to get some positions.

( i would like to use Files for some offline-maps packaged from http://kulturhandy.org/neu/map.html (at the moment only in german, sorry))
