Status Text:
<strong>This specification presents a [[#use-cases-categorization]] informed by feedback
and requests from the wider community, end users and web developers. These use cases
welcome further review from the wider web community to ensure the documented use case set
satisfies the needs of all stakeholders and provides appropriate abstractions for these capabilities.
Review and feedback is sought after in particular for the new [[#use-cases-background-continuous]]
and [[#use-cases-background-geofence]] use case categories. All feedback, including
contributions for new informative use cases and other considerations,
is welcome via <a href="https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-sensor/issues">GitHub issues</a>.

In line with the expectations of the Working Draft maturity stage,
the normative [[#api]] definition may change based on stakeholders' feedback,
implementation experience, security and privacy, and other considerations.</strong>

The Devices and Sensors Working Group will perform a round of self-review and
revisions on the security and privacy aspects of the API before
requesting horizontal review. Existing security and privacy issues can
be found <a
href="https://www.w3.org/PM/horizontal/review.html?shortname=geolocation-sensor">here</a>.
After careful consideration of the feedback received during the
Working Draft review period, the Devices and Sensors Working Group
has decided to publish this specification as a <a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#discontinuedREC">Discontinued Draft</a>.
The Working Group acknowledges that there are still open issues
and improvements that can be made to the specification, but
given the limited resources available, it is not feasible to
continue active development at this time. The Working Group
encourages the community to continue contributing to the
<a href="https://github.com/w3c/geolocation/issues/214">
Background Geolocation use cases</a> for consideration in future work.
The Working Group remains committed to advancing web standards
and will explore opportunities to revisit this specification
in the future when resources permit.
Abstract:
This specification defines the {{GeolocationSensor}} interface for obtaining
the [=geolocation=] of the hosting device.
