What do you mean? through html geolocation + javascript or using acts_as_gmappable ?

fillipenorton commented 11 years ago

Well, i don't know the better way.

I'd like to save the current city of my website user, and now i'm using the geolocatoin. And i want know if there is some way to detect his city automatically.

you should head towards javascript.

The gem will only give you lat/lng of the user so you should use another tool for this purpose.
