Intro
Basic instructions on how to use GeoLaunch IntroductionGeo-aware applications meet the Web! How ToThe idea is simple. GeoLaunch gets the device's location and opens a Safari in a URL where the latitude and longitude are in the Get parameters. For example for GeoPedia is will open @"http://mazinger.cs.yale.edu/yahoolocal/search.php?lat=%f&long=%f&r=%d" with the corresponding latitude and longitude. Get the code from the svn rep. For now, you need to modify the URL and re-compile. Also remember to make the following changes in the app:
In the near future you will not need to recompile since the URL will sit in a configuration file. I know this instructions are sketchy at best, but they will improve over time. The project also includes LocLib, a library to get your geo-location based on cell phone towers. This may be of independent use. |
