Using phonelocator to embed your location in a web site or blog

Tag: phonelocatorAlex @ 2:16 pm

I’ve just added an embedded map feature to phonelocator. It is now possible to add your location to your website or blog like this:


The url to embed
is http://phonelocator.mobi/embeddedmap?login=<your user name>.


My user name is alexb so I have embedded: http://phonelocator.mobi/embeddedmap?login=alexb

You can use an iframe to embed the url like this, adjust the width and height as you wish:

<iframe src="http://phonelocator.mobi/embeddedmap?login=alexb" width="640" height="480"> Alternative text for browsers that do not understand IFrames.</iframe>

Only phones that have their position set to public will be displayed.

Phonelocator on O2 Litmus and Vodafone Betavine

Tag: O2, Uncategorized, betavine, litmus, phonelocator, vodafoneAlex @ 1:52 pm

I’ve added phonelocator to O2 Litmus and Vodafone’s Betavine. Both services allow users to upload and download applications for mobile phones in a similar way to Nokia Mosh. Betavine allows users to tag, report feedback and review applications. Applicaiton authors can also blog using the site. The site will also push links to install applications to users’ hansets via sms. O2 Litmus allows application authors to sell their applications but unfortunatley only to O2 customers.
