Michael Hedrick 2 Save latitude and longitude to record
Hello,
Been trying to figure out how to save the latitude and latitude of the users current location when they save a custom record via a visualforce page. I was able to use
and this would grab the latitude but I have not been able to save the value to the record.
Is there a better way to aquaire the Lat and long of a users current location when the record is created and then saving the lat and long to the custom record.
Thanks

Thank you for teh reply. I am actually suing something similiar to your first example and I am able to retrieve the lat and long but unable to pass the values to the custom record.
The second example is unclear to me. Are the new fields shown in step 2. !latt and !longt ?
Are they actually geo code fields or number fields with decimals? Not sure where these fields are defined.
Thanks
