W3C Invites Implementations of Geolocation

The Devices and Sensors Working Group and the Web Applications Working Group have republished Geolocation as a W3C Candidate Recommendation Snapshot. Geolocation provides access to geographical location information associated with the hosting device.

The document was previously published as a W3C Recommendation and now returns to Candidate Recommendation status to allow the Working Groups to iterate more efficiently on substantive changes and to continue adding new features.

The Working Groups welcome comments via the GitHub repository issues by 1 May 2026.
