Where Am I ?:
Uses the Geolocation API to produce, with your permission, a map of your current location. The Geolocation API is only supported by HTML5 compliant browsers. The accuracy of your location will vary amongst different browsers.
HTML5 is the latest standard for HTML, and enables websites to provide, without the use of any plug ins, a very rich user experience by allowing the browser to play videos and audio files, perform advanced animations, render high quality graphics, and use Geolocation (mapping) to provide information about the users current location.
HTML5 is supported in all the major browsers, with Microsoft the last of the browsers to provide full HTML5 support in Internet Explorer 9.
