Getting the current place
To get the user's existing site, you'll be able to phone the getCurrentPosition() method. This initiates an asynchronous request to detect the user's place,Cheap Office Ultimate 2007, and queries the positioning hardware to get up-to-date information. When the place is determined, a specified callback routine is executed. You are able to optionally provide a second callback to be executed if an error occurs. A third, optional,Office Professional 2010 X86, parameter is an options interface where it is possible to set the maximum age of the request,Office 2010 Professional Plus Key, and the time to wait for a request.
