Abstract

A computer program product for accessing location-based information on a mobile device. The computer program product determines whether a default HTML including information of a location is available, in response to determining that a wireless network at the location is available. The computer program product determines geographical coordinates of the location and calculates a URL and the default HTML using the geographical coordinates, in response to determining that the wireless network at the location is not available and in response to determining that the default HTML is not available. The computer program product displays one or more pages created by the default HTML that is calculated. The computer program product displays the one or more pages created by the default HTML that is available, in response to determining that the default HTML is available.
