Important
This documentation is for the Win32/COM Location API. It's available for use in the operating systems (OSes) that are specified in the Requirements section of each individual API reference topic. This API might be altered or unavailable in later OS versions. So we recommend that you use the Windows Runtime Windows.Devices.Geolocation API instead. To access location from a website, you can use the W3C Geolocation API (see Introduction to the Geolocation API).
Computers today are more mobile than ever. From small laptops to Tablet PCs, many computers can go wherever the user wants to go. Programs that take advantage of the computer's mobility can add significant value to people's lives. For example, a program that can find nearby restaurants and provide driving directions would seem to be a natural fit for a portable computer. But while the technology to determine the user's current location is common and affordable, building solutions on this technology can be a daunting task.
To create a location-aware program, you might need to overcome a variety of issues, including:
This documentation describes the Windows Location application programming interface (API). The Location API helps to simplify location-aware programming by providing a standard way to retrieve data about user location and standardizing formats for location data reports. The Location API automatically handles transitions between location data providers and always chooses the most accurate provider for the current situation.
The Location API provides its functionality through a set of COM interfaces. Location API functionality can be used by programmers who are familiar with using COM through the C++ programming language, or with using COM objects in scripting languages, such as Microsoft JScript.
