I am trying to add a GPS yardage finder to some apps and we have and it works perfectly in ios but in Android it looks like the GPS feature is not accessed. It does not work as a custom HTML or a Custom URL. However, on 2.0 is works if you launch a native browser to call the url. I need to be able to keep users in the app because future versions of this will include artwork I want to package with the app. Here is a screenshot of what I am doing. http://www.talgrace.com/yardagescreenshot.png Any Thoughts? Thank you in advance. Title Comments So first of all I have things working great in ios but once again Android hates me.
