I am trying to design a web page that provides content depending on the user’s location. I made a simple page that tries to access the navigator.geolocation object and report whether it exists, and if it does, the latitude and longitude reported by the browser. I tested it on my home computer, which is running Firefox, and it worked fine.

I then tested it on my LG VX8360 cell phone and it didn’t work. After some experimentation, I found out that navigator.geolocation doesn’t seem to exist in my mobile browser. My phone is not at all the most sophisticated, but it does have GPS capability and I made sure it was enabled.

I tried looking on Google to find anything about accessing the GPS data, but I couldn’t find any way of doing it that doesn’t involve paying for the VZ Navigator app. Does anyone know of any way? I would ideally like some way of making a web page that can access it.

    The LG VX8360 supports the Flash Lite player.

    Flash Lite has a Geolocation class that can hook into the Java J2ME JSR-179 geolocation support that the LG VX8360 also supports.

    It is possible to write a Flash Lite compatible component and host it on your web page that Flash Lite on the LG can run.
