I am currently developing a mobile app which need the current position of the user and runs in the browser.
I have done some searches and I found people recommend PhoneGap. I am wondering why I can’t use the Geo location of the browser since most browsers now support the HMTL5 specification?
well you can use geolocation in mobile apps. People suggest to use phonegap because it can give much more control on the device features than a normal web app. These include
Hardware specific features supported by the PhoneGap API include:
Geolocation
Vibration
Accelerometer
Sound
and more..
Plus it is supported on 7 platforms. You can create cross platform app just mastering html5, js, etc. if anything is not supported by phonegap then you can use a native plugin for the purpose.
