One of the coolest things in Mobile Web Server 1.3 beta has to be the Location feature. It's a bit hidden down there in Presence application so chances are you haven't even noticed it yet.
By default Presence page shows just the coordinates if the phone location is found. It's fair to say that's not very intuitive but here we are leaving the innovation possibilities for developers and hobbyists. It's very easy to modify the default Presence page to have a link to any map or other service. Hint: the file is Web server\htdocs\Web_Applications\Presence\Viewer\index.psp. You can take a look at our demo device's Presence page, it has some examples on what to do with the location.
If you don't feel like experimenting just start to use our Facebook application. It will translate your location into a map name and country, if you allow that. This way your friends can check out your live location roughly.
The location feature works in S60 devices that have the AGPS feature in software. This includes all the models that have internal GPS module. For some products such as N95 and E90 make sure you have the latest software for the device. Our current implementation only uses network-based location which can be hundreds of meters or even kilometers off depending on the cellular network structure. In our next release we will add an option to use also the GPS information if desired.
Bonus link: The Mobile Web Server brochure describes this and other possible future ideas. If you have new ideas, you know what to do :)
