App to displays specific data according to user lat/lon location

[Ricardo Guimaraes]

I would like to be able to identify the closest antenna, convert antenna location to lat/lon, and use this information on my application to deliver local information. How can I do that?


Best regards,

If you requirement is to get the location of the user and then do
something with it in a web application, one way is to use the Google
Maps API - the user indicates where they are on the map and you go
from there.

There is also the SearchQuest[1] iPhone application, but that means
your users will have to have downloaded and installed it from the
AppStore. This is not an endorsement of SearchQuest.

If you really do want to use tower data, you'll have to build a native
application that interfaces with your web page and supplies it the
data (and you will have to publish it on the AppStore and users of
your web application will have to install it...).
