[OSM-talk] geolocation with GPS in iPhone Safari ???

[bernhard]

Hi all

I'm playing with iPhone and have a problem.
The geolocation API in iPhone Safari does not give the correct position.

It looks like the iPhone Safari does not use the built in GPS. Instead 
(I guess) it uses the position of WLAN Hotspots for locating the own 
position.

The {enableHighAccuracy:true} should switch on the GPS but it does not.
If I use Google Maps Application the GPS is available and if I switch 
from googlemaps to the browser, the accuracy is ok  - but only for some 
seconds.

Can somebody confirm that iPhone Safari has no access to GPS?


Here you can see the accuray if you have an iPhone:

PS: To have a simple example there is a static map (no Slippymap) in 
this page. It does not work with Android.
