Add what3words support #7
Comments
it is good but it requires registration for api key and that is a problem if you look at the nature of this tool, what do you think? |
The nature of this tool is find the correct geolocation with a high accuracy 😄 you're not doing bad things. Just a seeker and it seems pretty easy to generate what3words api key, Don't you thing ? |
while on the subject of accuracy, when I ran the script, I noticed that the accuracy was close to 3800 meters. That's not very accurate, am I doing something wrong. |
@h3ct0rjs we are creating a fake page of some service that asks for your location, think about if this is used maliciously xD |
@KingAbdullah23 @thewhiteh4t @h3ct0rjs What3words does not contribute to the accuracy of location.It also use google maps to retrieve latitude and longitude then convert it into 3 word address which is easy to remember.I've compared location from wha3words using api key and from google maps and both are giving same location.On desktop or laptop location is not accurate sometimes accuracy is 3600 or 36000 and sometimes it's 72 but on phone accuracy is in between 20-30. |
@usama7628674 html geolocation api can either get ip geolocation or gps based location i force it to use gps based because these days people use their phones more than laptops so we get almost accurate location while in the case of laptops and desktops, since they dont have a built in hardware for gps geolocation api falls back to ip based and we get in accurate coordinates, seeker is designed to target smartphones, moreover google maps uses multiple techniques to get the location and html geolocation api is nowhere near it |
@thewhiteh4t So using what3words does not add to the accuracy of the seeker cuz what3words gives the same location as seeker if used on gps based smartphone. |
@usama7628674 yes its just another representation. |
I think that what3words integration would really contribute to the accuracy of this tool. Just a suggestion.
