Taken from issue 68:
http://m.opencaching.ro/near.php should autofill with home location (from
profile) ((Not logic. This is mobile version and could be anywhere.))
There are many pages (not only the above mobile page) that use a sortof
autofill for location. However, each page has it's own failures.
If no location is specified in profile, N 00 00.000 E 000 00.000 is assumed.
If no location is specified in profile, using profile location should default
to a site specified default location rather then 0 0 coordinates.
It could be a site default location or the location specified for the map shown
on the home page.
A page like "near" should attempt autofill in the following order:
1) request location from browser, and use it.
2) if 1) is denied or not available, try to use GeoIP (assuming free variant of
this library)
(step 2 definitely requires additional implementation both as code and per node
deployment by admins; consider this a possible future feature, maybe, ignore
for the present)
3) if still no location available, get location from profile.
4) if profile location is 0 0, use a site specified default or coords of site
homepage map.
