Hello All I want to restrict what geographic location users can submit my forms from. Basically, I want the form to look up the latitude and longitude and match it against ones on my table. Then (within a couple of hundred feet or so) I want it to either- Accept the location the user is at as being the one I've agreed and submit the data Don't accept the user's location (they are more than a couple of hundred feet away from the latitude and longitude on my table) and put up an error message 'Sorry - you are not in the right location to complete this form'. I know this can be done, but it is way above my technical ability I'm afraid. Any help from you wonderful useful people out there? Your hopefully Duncan

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
