Is it possible Programmatically Track Mobile Caller Location in google map. For This need permission any Third party or using any code that have mobile service provider? Please guide me.
Actually Tracing Mobile Number is not possible at all.
Because it can be provided by Only Mobile Operators like Vodafone, Jio.
They will not provide you this details.
Tracking Using GPS is Possible for this you need the constant internet connection and GPS need to be Enabled on that Phone.
I am new in android and wanna get user current location using GPS_PROVIDER, but every time getting different-different location how can I use Google Play Services. and what is the best way to get accurate location in android.
Thanks you.
In general there are two different types of locations available through the Android API.
One is the GPS-Location which only works outdoors and which has an accuaracy between 5m and 50m.
The other kind of location is the so called Network-Location which is a loaction measure based on Wifi Networks in you surrounding and GSM-Base-Stations which have a accuracy between 100m and 1500m. This localization technique also works indoors, because it only requires you smartphone to have network access. The accuaracy gets better in urban areas where a lot of Wifi and GSM-Base-Stations are located. The more GSM-Base-Station / Wifi hotspos are available the better is the accurarcy of the loation measurement. It can also get down to 5m.
When requesting such an location Google does internally some magic to compute the position. This request requires a internet connection (you don't need to explicitly give the permission). Interanally Android sends a request to a Google server which contains fingerprints of the surrounding GSM-Base-Stations and afterwards computes your location (if you are curious you can find the code here).
With GPS-bases location the location accurarcy is the same all over the world without any internet connection, but works only outdoors.
With my applications I implemented a logic which detects if GPS is present or not and if not I switched to network localization, this works fine.
I have to list the available wifi access point in my app by using worklight . How to do that using worklight.
For some sample code showing how to continually acquire all the access points for a set of SSIDs see:
Differentiating between indoor areas in the Knowledge Center.
You can use a wildcard (*) for the SSID and MAC in the access point filters.
If you just want a one-time acquisition use the WL.Device.Wifi.acquireVisibleAccessPoints API.
Note that on non-Android platforms, you are limited to information about the connected access point. See here for more on platform restrictions.
I've built an app utilizing user's straight location; but I'd like access to the user's latest location i.e. when a user posts from a mobile device they include an approx. location; how can we access that? This would open a door to a huge "real-time" market.
This is not exposed via the Graph API.
I can't be 100% sure, but I posted a status update via the mobile app, verified it had the location "Brooklyn" on it. Then I used the API Explorer to drill down and look at that status update: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=781062048236 and there is no location information available.
You can also verify by looking at the docs that they just don't make it available.
Google maps, ip location etc. working good.
But none of the services are locating a computer exactly where it is on a map.
Anyone know any api which can locate a computer on a map without user inputs.
I am tired of ip location, it is not at all exact and my client is not happy. :(
Thanks

What you're trying to do is not possible without specialized hardware. Google maps on cell phones without GPS uses cell tower station information. Most other phones use actual GPS receivers. With neither of those, the only way for your network-attached computer to tell where it is is by looking at who owns its IP address, which is what the IP location stuff does. Unfortunately, that database has pretty low geographical resolution. If you really want accurate and precise location information, you have to have a GPS receiver.
This cant be done unless you have some GPS device connected to the computer. But I guess it is forbidden in the licence to use real time tracking in Google Maps, but I might be wrong.
There's one more way, but I don't know how practical it is: visible wifi networks. If your PC has wifi hardware then you can often correlate the list of networks that you can see to an approximate location based on databases of networks and position. This is how e.g. iPod touches can locate themselves, and iPhones when there's poor GPS reception in built-up areas.
But even if your end-user has wifi hardware and you can somehow read the network list from it then I'm not sure if there are public datasets for this though.
The W3C Geolocation API allows websites to request the user's best available location from the browser. In some cases this will use IP geolocation which you've already seen to be inaccurate, but it can sometimes do better.
The API is agnostic to the device and the method used to obtain location; on an iPhone, the Geolocation API may use cell tower triangulation, available WiFi network lookup or GPS satellite geolocation, or some combination. On Firefox or Chrome on the laptop, Google uses WiFi networks and IP address to give a location which is often much, much better than IP geolocation alone.
If you had a GPS attached to your computer, it's possible that your browser could take advantage of that too -- it's expected that future versions of Internet Explorer will support the W3C Geolocation API using the Windows 7 Location Platform, which can accept location from an attached GPS or manual entry or some other plugin.
