resources for mobile webpage
category: offtopic [glöplog]
hi
i have no idea which other forum than pouet i could ask this - so here goes: any one knows where to find information on "HTML for mobile devices"? I mean, isn't it possible to make a link from my webpage that'll start up the users GPS-functionality and get directions?
e.g. <a href="gps:Copenhagen,Denmark">Drive to Copenhagen</a>

... the only one i could find googling was for linking to phone numbers, e.g. <a href="sms:12312312">SMS/Call 12312312</a>
There is a "geo" URI scheme available http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5870.txt http://www.bigfraud.org/geoloc/
Not sure how 'safari specific' it will be, but the stuff you're looking for should be on the safari dev site: http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/safari/index.action. The main mobile platforms now are ios (webkit) and android (webkit, at least by default) so hopefully there's plenty of overlap.
wouldn't stackoverflow.com be the ideal place to ask questions like this?
i know that at least some phones understand customappname: URL schemes. my company uses it on iPhones. but they might be app-specific and maybe even phone-specific.
