LBS - Easy as href="url”lcs!

Written by olafdunn on Jun 25th, 2007 | Filed under: Developer

DoCoMo have made it incredibly easy for requesting pages to access positioning information from the device. Compatible in iMode HTML v7, it can be done through one for 2 simple tags, lcs and pos.

Examples:

[Format]

<A href=”URL” lcs>

</A>

<A href=”http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/gps.cgi”lcs>

Which creates something like

<A
href=”http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/gps.cgi?lat=latitude&lon=longitude&geo=geodetic
system&x-acc=accuracy level”>

Of course the user has the option to send this data or not, and also if they wish to send their current position, or a saved position from their history
