Abstract:
A system and method are provided for determining a nearest network resource using GPS coordinates. A GPS enabled device may obtain its location by requesting its GPS location. A list of network resources storing the desired data may be obtained by the GPS enabled device and the distance between each of the network resources and the GPS enabled device may be calculated. The system then connects to the resource having the shortest distance without requiring a user to know and decide which network resource is closest to their location.
