Online Distance/Lag Calculator
I may work on it some more, like adding drop-downs for the top two lines, and maybe splitting out the gateway and beam instead of using the same input box. I'd really like the location thing to work too.
Hmm, have you thought about trying to pull the BeamID and Satellite ID from the modem it self, then add a field to request "real" latency from a webservice?
Also, mind if I either jack your script and put it on my site, or link to that script from my site?

Thought about it, but it does restrict you to acutally be on the network to do that.
Also, mind if I either jack your script and put it on my site, or link to that script from my site?Either way is fine, but a link would be easier.
Also, just found out that the geocoder that determines your location only works in a secure environment. So the link should be https:// not http://. Then all you need to do is pop in J2 and your beam# and click the Calculate button.
Bear in mind mine was waaaaay off. Said the accuaracy was within 1900m, but it's more like 50 klicks off, if that.
Edit: Now you don't even have to enter J2. It's an option box that defaults to it. I also Bootstrapped it (look and feel) and added my standard header and footer to pretty it up some.

Hi Mark,
No one's objected to you pursuing this project so I don't see why you should stop (unless you want to of course).

Hooah. Was going to add miles to the kms, but it was mostly there.
Did happen to notice that the new Firefox for iOS (fxios) had a problem with automatically getting the user's geolocation info tho. #fun
