Gps position

[wesleyd]

Hi all,

I'm making an application for ios with the localisation object (i'm not sure the name is this in english) and i have a problem.

I would like to go to an url with gps information. But how to go to http://www.google.com/position=$position ? (it's an example)

I know how to use varibale in php, but how to use it in mmf ?

You can see screenshot to see what i'm talking about.

I think you would need to use the Webview extension

Yes but how to write the url in webview ?

I would like to add the gps position in the url like that :

www.mywebsite.com/application.php?position=(here i don't know what to write).

Depends on what the webpage wants so it can display the location.

When you use the page in the browser now what does the actual URL look like?

For example, i want to send the variables who contain the latitude and longitude.

I can send this url :

http://www.mywebsite.com/application.php?latitude=29.68&longitude=2.65

But the problem is :

I would like to know how to write automaticatly 29.68 and 2.65 in mmf.

If i write like this in a condition :

"http://www.mywebsite.com/application.php?latitude=Latitude( "Object Localisation" )&longitude=Longitude( "Object Localisation" )"

It doesn't work...

Use the Get object and for the Get URL you would specify something like:

"http://www.website.com/page.php?lat=" + Str$(Latitude( "Location object" )) + "lon=" + Str$(Longitude( "Location object" ))

Notice that I must use Str$ to convert numeric values to strings before I can concatenate them in MMF2.

Google Maps does have a library for iOS without needing a web view, but someone would have to code an extension. I'd use the method you are currently trying but instead have

"http://maps.google.com/?q="+Str$(Latitude( "Location object" )) + "," + Str$(Longitude( "Location object" ))

As the address you tell the web view to go to.
