HTML5: Geolocation in Depth shows how to add location tracking to
a web application with a combination of JavaScript, CSS and HTML5.
First, author and HTML5 expert Bill Weinman provides a thorough
explanation of the geolocation API, including considerations every
developer should take into account, such as data dependability,
power usage, and privacy concerns. The course then covers how to
detect support for geolocation, retrieve coordinates from a device
(whether once or continuously), handle errors, and integrate the
results with Google Maps to create a location-aware web application
that will run on many mobile browsers. Exercise files are included
with the course.


Topics include:

* Understanding how geolocation works
* Detecting geolocation support
* Getting coordinates
* Continuous tracking with watchPosition()
* Integrating geolocation with Google Maps
