Google Gives Me My Location Data
I’ve been remiss to note that Google opened Latitude, their location-sharing site, to provide access to the data. Since I complained that was missing at launch, it’s only fair that I give credit when they make it right.
It is not your standard API, but does take a simple approach by using a feed. If you opt in, you can get your location in JSON, KML, or an HTML/JavaScript widget to add to your website. If you’re already set up with Latitude, find out how to get your data here.
Hi, I'm Adam. I'm writing a book about developing maps on the web. This site is where I'll share the things I find and help you create your own maps.
