But the package itself seems quite generic, just in the same way Net_UserAgent_Mobile is generic, although very geared towards Japan as well. So, for instance, if Google was to release a triangulation API for "My Location" that could eventually be plugged into this package. I know some US carriers offer some kind of device locating services, I don't know if they provide an accessible API though. Also devices with built-in GPS capabilities integrated with web browsing wouldn't too far from this package either. Anybody know more on the topic of GPS integrated with web browsers? Bottom line, IMO the Net_GPS package name doesn't really need to have JP added to it. My 2 cents, -Philippe
