How do I use the Google Maps API GPS sensor?

That sensor parameter is only there to indicate to Google that you are using a GPS sensor to determine the user's location.

That sensor parameter is only there to indicate to Google that you are using a GPS sensor to determine the user's location. Unless using the W3C Geolocation API in browsers that support it, it remains your responsibility to get the latitude and longitude from your GPS device to the user's browser.

Aah, I must have thought there was a magical conduit that allowed GMaps to get the GPS info from the iPhone. Thanks for the enlightenment. – renegadeofunk Jan 4 '10 at 4:55 6 I don't get why google is so insistent on this parameter being passed via the webservice.

What interest or use is it to them? – skaffman May 28 '10 at 14:45 1 @skaffman: I've also been wondering the same thing. They might use it to collect information on how the free maps api is being used.

That is, if they trust that everyone sets it appropriately. – Daniel Vassallo May 28 '10 at 14:58 I've been wondering that too. Why should they care?

How can they trust it? It seems daft. – Tomalak Geret'kal Aug 15 at 11:01.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
