iOS iPhone location fed into HTML5

[sshonig]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new in the developing world, and I have a question:

I would like to automatically feed a specific iPhone's location info into an HTML5 JS map (with the user's permission, of course), and have the countries the user visited saved on a map on the site. What would be the easiest way to do it? Could I do it using HTML5 alone or would I have to develop an iOS app?

Thanks in advance

No. HTML5 has a geolocation API, which iOS, Android, and Windows Phone support.
