The new release of GeoSpot service for mobile web can take advantage of position service (GPS) if available. (The mobile browser must support Javascript and W3C GeoLocation specification to reading your current geographical location.) If GeoSpot can read your GPS, it will display the message "Determine Current Location...". You will be prompt to give GeoSpot permission to read the position on your device. After a successful read, GeoSpot's home page will display the message "Current GPS/GeoLocation Acquired!" and now the search result will center around you!
Currently this capability is tested on iPhone 3G/S, but expected to work on newer Blackberry models, and Palm Pre. As we get our hands on other devices and do more testing, we will update results here. If you have one of newer smart phones that can support GPS from web browser, please test it and let us know the your experience by sending an email to "support@geospot.com".
GeoSpot is looking into supporting Geo Location on Netbooks and regular laptops in the near future.
