0	I am not sure about ASP.NET unless user is entering his/her location explicitly and you are passing that value to the Yahoo or Google APIs, however its possible in HTML5. Below is the code snippet, fire the GetMyLocation() function on click of the button and it will give you an alert with Logitude and Latitude of the user. You can get these values in the server side by sending asynchronus request with these values as querystring to the server using jQuery. <script type="text/javascript"> // GET LOCATION function GetMyLocation() { if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(LocationCallback, FailureCallback); } else { alert("Sorry, your browser doesn't support Geolocation"); } } function LocationCallback(position) { alert('Latitude: ' + position.coords.latitude + '\n' + 'Longitude: ' + position.coords.longitude + '\n' + 'Accuracy: ' + position.coords.accuracy); } // FAILURE function FailureCallback(error) { alert('Sorry, an error occured - ' + error); } </script> Hope this helps.

<script type="text/javascript">



         // GET LOCATION

         function GetMyLocation() {

             if (navigator.geolocation) {

                 navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(LocationCallback, FailureCallback);

             } else {

                 alert("Sorry, your browser doesn't support Geolocation");

             }

         }



         function LocationCallback(position) {

                                 alert('Latitude: ' + position.coords.latitude + '\n' + 'Longitude: ' + position.coords.longitude + '\n' + 'Accuracy: ' + position.coords.accuracy);

         }



         // FAILURE 

         function FailureCallback(error) {

             alert('Sorry, an error occured - ' + error);

         }



     </script>

Hope this helps.
