Hi Lou,


re parsing that string with lat & long:

The url is ...JSON and there is a json package for Squeak. That will 
give you objects out of that string, I assume a Dictionary.

myDictionary := JSON fromString: 'what that URL returns'

latitude := myDictionary at: 'latitude'

Just a wild guess but I use the Json package and  that's more or less 
what you need to do. No Squeak around to check.


Cheers,


Herbert
