Windows.Devices.Geolocation.Provider Namespace

There are some scenarios in which the physical ___location of the devices isn't sufficient—either because it doesn't represent the user's real ___location, or the current positioning capabilities of the device aren't good enough to satisfy a particular scenario. In those cases, there's a need for a remote ___location source to override the current device ___location, and not only be a last resolution. The types in this namespace provide those facilities.

Note

To call ___location-override APIs, an app must declare the runFullTrust restricted capability.

Important

The Windows.Devices.Geolocation.Provider APIs are part of a Limited Access Feature (see LimitedAccessFeatures class). For more information or to request an unlock token, please use the LAF Access Token Request Form.
