The Current Find My iDevice, uses the MobileMe service, exclusively...
Do you think that Google Latitude would be a useful alternative, the major obvious benefit, is that this could be used to support the display of non-iDevices...
What do you think?

I used Google Latitude to convert coordinates for each iPhone I track to a physical address. It was just a few lines of code to address their API. I think it would be a simple and useful addition to the plugin.

Feel like posting an example? It certainly would be a useful addition....

I have a variable iPhone_xxx that is populated with the full address from querying Google Latitude. Code below:
- Code: Select all
import urllib2
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
dev = indigo.devices["iPhone - xxx"]
latitude = str(dev.states["Latitude"])
longitude = str(dev.states["Longitude"])
theUrl = u"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?latlng=" + latitude+ "," + longitude + "&sensor=false"
f = urllib2.urlopen(theUrl)
theXML = f.read()
GEO = ET.parse(urllib2.urlopen(theUrl))
GEO_results = GEO.find('result')
FA = GEO_results.findtext('formatted_address')
indigo.variable.updateValue("iPhone_xxx", FA)
