Windows.Devices.Geolocation.Provider Namespace
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
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.
