What you are about to receive

• An apology• Bit of background• A video• Some geeky stuff (not hardcore)• And a bit of canvas• Maybe look at a post-grad presentation• Q&A• You to pub, me to rehearsal• Soon – BOGfest – play LBGs

What it is (and what it isn’t)

• if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error); } else { error('not supported'); }

• http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html• A location simulator is helpful
