Comments on: Latitude and Longitude Lookup with jQuery, C#, ASP.NET MVC http://www.billsternberger.net/asp-net-mvc/latitude-and-longitude-lookup-with-jquery-c-asp-net-mvc/ Wed, 17 Aug 2011 09:14:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Daniel http://www.billsternberger.net/asp-net-mvc/latitude-and-longitude-lookup-with-jquery-c-asp-net-mvc/comment-page-1/#comment-128 Daniel Sat, 16 Oct 2010 17:07:51 +0000 http://www.billsternberger.net/?p=277#comment-128 Hi, if you want to get a similar result easier or want to let the user also finetune the location data in case the lookup is not 100% correct: We just created a spin-off from our project MyGeoPosition.com. With the "GeoPicker" you can let users easily enter latitude / longitude data into form fields. It works similar to all of these "DatePicker" Widgets, which can be found on hotel booking websites etc. Just click a button next to the input field and a popup with a Google Map opens, let's the user find his location and return the latitude/longitude with a 2nd button click. Integration is quick & easy, but you can also spend some time to configure it to fit exactly your needs. Documentation and lots of examples can be found at <a href="http://api.mygeoposition.com/" title="GeoPicker Javascript Widget" rel="nofollow">http://api.mygeoposition.com/</a>. Any questions, feedback or suggestions? Just contact me via that website, I am happy to help :-) Cheers, Daniel Hi,

For my apps I wrap the functionality in a class for parsing/storing/error handling, and I've evolved to having multiple services in case one doesn't return results, the code will check the others.

Every now and then there are certain areas it can't find, but I've had decent results. I started subscribing to this service: http://www.geoipapi.com/, they have been great.

Why call my own server, which in term calls the Geonames.org server? Why not directly call the Geonames.org server? Saves you a request to handle. Just one question.
