Getting Directions from Google Static Map for a Mobile Site

Question

I have a mobile site I am building. It has a Google static map on it. I would like to be able to tie into the phone's gps and get directions through the phone. Is this even possible?

Answer 1

That depends on whether the phone's browser supports the HTML5 Geolocation API. If it does, you can use that to grab the geolocation and plot on a Google Static Map. Most recent iPhone and Android devices support it.
