Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
Using iPhone GPS to calculate total distance travelled by the user
I am currently working on creating an iPhone app which, among many things, tracks the total distance a user has travelled during any sort of sports game. I am using HTML, CSS and Javascript to code the app. I want to use the iPhone's inbuilt GPS System to compute the total distance travelled.
I was thinking that I could firstly use the GPS to get the user's start position at 0 seconds (t = 0). Calculate the user's new psoition at a time interval (i.e. every 5 seconds) adding the distance travelled in that time to the original distance. I would repeat this loop until the user was finished their session.
However I am not the greatest programmer in the world. Therfore, any advice you could give me on coding this, presumably, in Javacript would be fantastic.
I'm coding my app in HTML, Javascript and CSS using Phone Gap in Xcode to change my app from a web app to a native application. I'm not the greatest programmer in the world and using Objective C is slightly beyond me.

However yes, the right approach is to have an array of points from gps and calculate the total distance.
