Windows requirements

Requirements	Description
Device family	Windows 10 (introduced in 10.0.10240.0)
API contract	Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v1.0)
App capabilities	location

Fields

Name	Value	Description
Ready	0	Location data can be retrieved.
Initializing	1	Attempting to obtain an initial location fix. Reported when a Geolocator object is first created or when its desired accuracy is changed.
NoData	2	No location data is available from any source. Call RequestAccessAsync before accessing the user's location. At that time, your app must be in the foreground and `RequestAccessAsync` must be called from the UI thread. Until the user grants your app permission to their location, your app can't access location data.
Disabled	3	Location settings are turned off. This status indicates that the user has not granted the application permission to access location.
NotInitialized	4	An operation to retrieve location has not yet been initialized. LocationStatus will have this value if the application has not yet called GetGeopositionAsync or registered an event handler for the PositionChanged event.
NotAvailable	5	Location is not supported on this version of Windows.

Remarks

PositionStatus values indicate whether location can be retrieved and whether the app has permission. Monitor changes using the StatusChanged event.
