Feature request: implement as standard W3C API #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I think this library would be more useful if it implemented the standard
W3C geolocation API, e.g., if the W3C API is not present but the Blackberry
API is, then you should implement the W3C API using the Blackberry API.

The benefit of this approach is that existing libraries that depend on the
W3C geolocation API won't need to be modified to use geo_position_js. They
will just work.

this is what the library really is about, the library can be used in exactly 
the same
way for all devices.

Changed state: Done

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Sorry to pester, but why did you decide to wrap the W3C API 
instead of implementing it when not present? Does your 
library add extra funcionality? Or is it easier to use? What 
happens if I want to write a jQuery plugin, for example, that 
uses geolocation? Why do I have to use this API instead of 
the standard?

Also, this feature request isn't "done", it is "will not do", as is.
