Ninjakreborn Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Is it possible, to perform Checkin/Checkout functionality using just a web site, without associated mobile applications? Perhaps, using the Google Maps API..let someone checkin using the website..then record that checkin, then also record the checkout. Even without the checkout..is the checkin functionality possible...so they will basically show their location in a Google Map that people can see, when they perform a checkin. That is just the basics of what I need to do, but I want to make sure that part is possible first. I tried to do GPS functionality before without mobile, and I didn't see any viable solutions for this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 In short, no. GPS is the vital ingredient for plotting accurate positions, which laptops and desktops don't commonly have. You could base it on IP but that would give mixed results, the majority of which would not be accurate enough to be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
