(3) Use Franson GPS in Browser or Loki for a Current Position
Press 'WLAN Position' and the Loki plugin will try to ascertain your position based on WiFi signals. If found, the position is displayed with a blue marker. You may need to install the free plugin to use this service.
Franson provides tools in GPSGate to allow web pages to read the position from a GPS connected to a local computer in a safe and controlled way.
You need to make sure that you have GpsGate 2.6 or later installed, and have "GPS in Browser" added as an Output. You also need a built-in GPS or a GPS connected to your computer and GpsGate must be running. Alternatively you can use the software to simulate routes if no GPS feed is available.
GPS in browser works with any browser that handles javascripts. It is tested on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Opera Mobile on Windows Mobile / Pocket PC.
If a valid position is available a blue marker is diplayed. If there is no valid position a black marker is shown at a default position. The current browser information is also available below the map.
You can also email the positions of the markers for future reference:
(4) Weather and Wikipedia
Local weather and up to twenty Wikipedia entries within a radius of fifteen kilometres will be displayed at the bottom of the map. You can also clear or update the entries based on the current centre of the map.
