"The Position object has a heading field. It is described as: "The heading attribute denotes the direction of the hosting device". Is this the heading of the vector of travel while moving, or the direction the user is currently facing, no matter the direction of travel? The context of the following field, speed, seems to indicate that this is the heading of the direction of travel."
