Abstract
This chapter will demonstrate two technologies that provide powerful features that enable you to easily create some very useful web sites. Geolocation provides a standardized API that is used to determine the client’s location. Mapping technology adds the ability to display this location on a map along with other points of interest. Together, these form a platform that has many useful applications.
