Hi James, everyone,
Thanks for testing - very good news that it works! I've now adjusted the
position of the Space Needle. Cross-checking a couple of sources tells me
that it's at 47.616629W and 122.354597W - not quite sure how it was wrong
in the first place. Is the new co-ordinate right? For a moment I thought
the Great Circle function we're using had an error in it, but I tested it
and it works fine.
In the next couple of weeks I'll add a PlaceLab-capable "add your own
site" page and also small-screen sites for Pocket PC/Palm and Series 60
devices.
Whilst we're on the subject of Series 60, I have a Nokia 3650. I'm using
Opera browser, and have recently signed up for their "Opera Mobile
Accelerator" service - see
http://www.opera.com/products/smartphone/accelerator/ for details. It
works quite well and, given that I pay €3/MB for GPRS data and €15/MB when
roaming in other countries, has already saved me money. Is there any way
of combining it with PlaceLab?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
We've added a PlaceLab search feature to A2B (thanks to Anthony for his
assistance here!) and are looking to test it. Unfortunately I can't
seem to get things running perfectly with my HP iPAQ and an 802.11
connection, so it's a bit of a "stab in the dark" unfortunately.
However, I'd appreciate it if one or two people could see if it works,
and if not, which errors you get. The search is at:
http://www.a2b.cc/search-placelab.a2b
The script should pick up the placelab header in the HTTP request and
use it for position. I hope... ;-)
Any volunteers? If you can reply to this list, or directly to me, that
would be great.
Best wishes, and thanks in advance,
Sam
