Hello...I am new to Caspio, so I apologize for in advance for ignorant questions. Question: I have found articles/methods to obtain GPS coordinates for a mobile device, but does anyone have a recommendation for obtaining the GPS coordinates for a desktop computer (ex. desktop computer at a library)? I have found various APIs or services out there that can support, but they run into browser conflicts and the like...I am hoping for a solution within Caspio via Javascript. Thanks! -josh

I am trying to use the Map Mashup to display addresses, everything works fine with latitude and longitude set up except that no matter what zoom option I choose, if I use AutoZoom, the map displays as all the way zoomed in. If I don't use autozoom the zoom settings work but because my addresses are all over the state I can't set the homePosition to always be displaying the map marker. Is there a way to use the Latitude and Longitude feature but also have it only autozoom to around 14 or 15 as opposed to 20? If not is there a way to change my homePosition relative to where the marker is plotted? Thanks for taking a look!!

Hello Javascript Gurus out there I have been trying (for quite a while) to generate a user's latitude and longitude on a report automatically - to use them with a distance search. There are various topics on this forum (such as http://forums.caspio.com/index.php/topic/4205-html-block-to-detect-geo-location/?hl=geolocation), but none do quite what I want. If I try and adapt any of them, passing them from a submission form as parameters for example, I get an error code 'number too long' when I try and use the latitude and longitude to search with. Caspio's excellent Store Locator app does it with the mobile search, but it requires a button to be pressed ('Use my current location'). When I've tried to alter this to suit my needs, I've just ended up breaking it! Ideally, I would like to put the javascript in the beginning of a report and automatically populate the latitude and longitude search fields. In other words, a user would just open the report and it would automatically show venues closest to their current location (mobile or laptop), without them having to click anything. Any help [very] greatly appreciated. Duncan
