Using Location Data to drive content

Perhaps this has been discussed, and may well be over my head, but I'd like to deliver state specific content based upon the location of the user in a version 1.5 app. In this case, the user's state would deliver a different URL which has the state specific resource available. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Totally doable: See this lenghty post and see if it's over your head? http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=65181E4ADF97874B08E6D2B The idea is that your backend (simple script pulling locations from a file or database) filters the locations based on the users location, radius from locations, etc. Awesome addition if you can pull it off. It's on our tutorial list for a video but havn't got to it.

Thanks, David. It looks like it will be a big learning curve for me - - -I may try it, but I think I'll wait for the tutorial video.
