geolocation-exposed navigator.geolocation is exposed, which every part of this feature builds on. spec ↗ exists
getcurrentposition-callable navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition is a function. spec ↗ typeof
watchposition-callable navigator.geolocation.watchPosition is a function. spec ↗ typeof
positionoptions-reads-accuracymode getCurrentPosition reads the accuracyMode member off the PositionOptions dictionary. A getter on the member fires only when the implementation looks for it, so this distinguishes a shipped option from one that is silently dropped, without needing a position or a permission grant. spec ↗ script
accuracymode-precise-is-default Omitting accuracyMode is equivalent to requesting "precise", so existing getCurrentPosition calls keep their behaviour. Verified by reading the member off a dictionary that supplies no value: the implementation must not require it. spec ↗ script
invalid-accuracymode-rejected accuracyMode is an enum of "precise" and "approximate". A value outside the enum must make the call throw a TypeError rather than being treated as one of the valid modes. spec ↗ throws
coordinates-expose-accuracy-radius GeolocationCoordinates exposes an accuracy radius in metres, which is what a site reads to tell a coarse fix from a fine one. spec ↗ script
geolocation-permission-queryable The geolocation permission is queryable, so a page can show its state without triggering a prompt. spec ↗ script
