Re: Drop lastPosition from Geolocation?

Even more clear in code(*):

function successCallback(pos)
{
   // you can test timestamp to see
   // if pos is stale or not.

   // do something geofantastic
}

function errorCallback(error)
{
   switch(error.code)
   {
      case POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:
         alert("position not available (cached or otherwise)");
         break;

      case PERMISSION_DENIED:
         alert("the page has no permission");
         break;

      case TIMEOUT:
         alert("timeout");
	break;

      default:
         alert("no idea");
   }
}


(*) the error codes should be something like  
"navigator.geolocation.PositionError.<NAME>".
