The GeolocationAPIprovides the geolocation of a device running a Gears-enabled web browser. The Geolocation API allows web apps to retrieve the user’s current position. The API should provide the following features:
- One-shot position requests (e.g. for recommendations sites — “where am I right now?”)
- Repeated position updates (e.g. for continuously updating one’s location on a map)
- Ability to get the last-known position cheaply before doing an expensive new request
- Compatibility with future use as a singleton in the standard DOM (e.g. window.geolocation)
