More Details
Three methods of determining a location can be combined in the 51Degrees.mobi location control. Choose one or many options to provide a location experience suitable for your mobile web application.
|
1. If the mobile device supports GPS location services, and a signal is available, this location can be returned.
|
Satellite
|
IP Address
|
2. Alternatively if a Wi-Fi or mobile network public IP address can be converted into a geographic location it can be used.
|
|
3. Some times it's not possible, or not desirable, to automatically determine the location of the mobile device. In these situations the user can be prompted to type in a location. Geocode APIs are then used to convert this to a geographic location.
