How do I capture Geolocation on mobile phones in server code?
Posted on 2014-01-23
What I need is to grab someone's city and state and have those available as string variables I can then manipulate in my sever code behind. I code in VB. Is this possible?
I don't want to use IP addresses to resolve location information because they are grossly inaccurate on mobile phones. I would like to use geolocation built into HTML5. But I don't know how to "capture" this in codebehind.
I know about this URL
http://jquery-ui-map.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/jquery-google-maps-geolocation.html
But I don't know how to then take the city+state (or region/country) information and have it available as variables in code behind.
I basically simply need access to variables CITY, REGION, COUNTRY in VB code...or at least (at minimum) the variables LAT and LONG available in the VB code.
How can I do this?
