getting the geolocation added to a field of iphone location

[hartmut]

hello

I am trying to find a  way to get a file to add the geolocation of the iPhone Is this possible?

 

I included an iphone file I would like to solve this geolocation issue with. It might be a script or a permissions but i simply would like people to get the geolocation of their phone and put it into a field.

 

I am enclosing the file

Thanks

I don't see an attached file... Regardless, you should check out the Location and LocationValues functions for Filemaker Go.

Sorry I thought the file was attached 

I think it is right now.

get geo.fmp12.zip

You are using a website to extract an iPhones geolocation?

 

You can use a script, like with the attached file, to show the location in a dialog, or you could have it automatically entered in field. 

get geo.fmp12.zip

Thanks very much for your help. I was able now to put it in the calc and get the geolocation in a field. I would like to map it in the viewer now  somehow. I would like to allow the user to use it in google maps if possible. Then other people could find the location and get directions to it. If you know how to do that can you show me. They seem to always require physical addresses not GPS. There must be a way to automate mapping this data in a web viewer.

Very much appreciated Matthew

Try embedding the geolocation data in the google map URL like this:

 

maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:47.620108,-122.349286

 

You can also get an arbitrary geo location off of a google map by dropping a pin and selecting, "what's here?" from the contextual menu.
