The only question is fidelity of the underlying data. On mobile devices it can be very high. Most (all?) desktop browsers that support the Geolocation API just use the IP address, so Firefox says I live in Alameda, CA, even though I really live in Palo Alto.
- bioweek 17y agoNo, I believe the iPhone shares it's location with the website. That's what this article is about.
- jfarmer 17y agoYes, through that API (AFAIK). Safari and Firefox both support it, but it depends on the fidelity of the location data available to the browser. Obviously mobile Safari has access to better data than desktop Safari.
