This API enables you to provide several Location Services on Native Mobile applications by interacting with the GPS on the devices where the apps are running.
It contains some Properties, Methods, Events, and Structured Data Types.
Returns the current authorization status.
It is based on the APIAuthorizationStatus domain (the possible Enumerated values are: Not Determined, Restricted, Denied, Authorized, AuthorizedWhenInUse).

Returns the current location accuracy authorization status.
It allows you to check whether the application can use full accuracy or not, and execute accordingly (eg. display an error message or change functionality).
It is based on the LocationAccuracyAuthorization domain (the possible Enumerated values are: Full, Reduced, Unknown).
Note: Those methods marked with an asterisk (*) only work on the device (not simulator nor web environment).

Returns the distance between the two locations given.
Allows asking the user for access to full accuracy in the locations temporary at runtime. Receives the purpose string to be displayed in the permission request dialog and returns true if the full accuracy permission is correctly granted.
Notes:
- Some of the methods are available for Web Environments as well.
- Many of the methods and properties provided by this external object are similar to those provided by the Geolocation external object. The difference lies in the use of the Geography data type (in Maps external object) instead of the Geolocation domain (in Geolocation external object) to represent geographic coordinates.
