ILocation interface (locationapi.h)
[The Win32 Location API is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use the Windows.Devices.Geolocation API. ]
Provides methods used to manage location reports, event registration, and sensor permissions.
