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, contact Microsoft Support.
