My patent (assigned to Microsoft) on using GPS data to augment a web browser request. This patent took 6 years(!) to issue (filed in 1998 and issued in 2004).
I'm not aware of any products using this now. The invention uses a new HTTP request header to send the user's GPS location. A GPS-aware server, can then respond with geo-targeted results AND provide a geo-graphic "expiration" zone (the comapatible browser will re-fresh automatically when the user leaves the valid zone).
