How would you want to use the latitude?

Previously, we have calculated the latitude and longitude with  
Javascript  
functions according to the place given and stored the values in a  
database.

So, what is it exactly are you trying to do?

Hello,  
Its like in the application we have built, we wanted to show markups on  
googlemaps of the users of our site according to their city. And so,  
while  
saving the place, we have also got the Latitude and Longitude with help  
of  
Google Maps API and saved in the database.

And while rendering the view it we used the data from the db and with js  
code (available to show the gmaps) we have marked the users.

Regards,
