Abstract

A method for accessing location-based information on a mobile device. In the method, a processor on the mobile device identifies a location, determines whether a location wireless network is available, determines geographical coordinates of the location in response to determining that the location wireless network is not available, calculates a URL using the geographical coordinates and calculates a default HTML, and displays one or more pages created by the default HTML.
