Can I detect my user’s location using HTML5’s Geolocation API?

0

HTML5’s Geolocation API is not currently available on Google TV browsers. However, there are other techniques you can use to capture the user’s location. One option is to use an external IP address geolocation service to query location information from user IP addresses. There are a number of services available to do this. Another option is to create a simple form to capture a user’s zipcode or address. Since Google TV devices typically remain in one location, this action may need to be done at most once by the user. Once captured, you may use browser cookies to store keep this information persistent.
