Firefox will be implementing this feature in its future releases but now has an add-on, named Geode, that enables users/developers to taste it.

Mozilla Geode

The add-on currently uses Skyhook’s Loki technology to map the WIFi signals.

To be more specific about what can be done via Geode:

  • Create a login page which can be browsed from specific locations, like your house
  • An RSS reader that realizes whether you’re at work or at home & acts accordingly
  • And many more..

Using Geode in websites is very easy:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos) {
  alert( pos.latitude + ", " + pos.longitude );
})

Pownce & Yahoo! Fire Eagle already implemented this feature.
