The Geolocation interface represents an object able to obtain the position of the device programmatically. It gives Web content access to the location of the device. This allows a website or app to offer customized results based on the user's location.

An object with this interface is obtained using the navigator.geolocation property implemented by the Navigator object.

The Geolocation interface neither implements, nor inherits any property.

The Geolocation interface doesn't inherit any method.
