I have a simple menu based app and a location screen that shows my current location, quite happy with that. I also have an email form setup and the idea was to check your location and add it to the email. I would prefer if I could output my X,Y or Lat,Long from the location map screen to an email template. Is this possible? (and relatively straightforward for a total newcomer?) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it might give you a push in the right direction. It's a tutorial on posting your devices location to a database. With some minor tweaks, I'm sure you could modify it to add the lat/long to an email template. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=6A0E0F30B5413FF704B3A04 Give it a read and post back if you have any other questions!

Thinking more on my coordinates issue, I really only need them to be displayed and be copy and pasted if possible. Some more thinking required... Comments Thanks for the link, will check it out.
