We're trying to make something cool for iPhone & Co.
The idea is to have a page where you can see on the map if some other hikrs are in proximity.
The problem is that we don't have any iPhone & Co. (Co.=Android, Nokia, or other modern mobile phone).
We started by doing a simple page where you can see a map and your position on the map.
The phone will ask you to share your current location, you have to answer "Yes", if you want see something.
For the moment, that's all we did.
The goal is to have the same map with you and all users in proximity, who allowed to share their position on the map with you.
Now, what we need is that you go on this page, test if it works for you and report the result here.
You can also send to admin@hikr.org a screenshot or a photo of your phone with the page displayed.
The URL to try with you phone is
http://www.hikr.org/g.php

The location data stays in your browser, it's not transferred anywhere, so there is no privacy issues for this test. You can test it anywhere, nobody will know where you are.
Here how it looks like on the iPhone emulator:
