Reasons for this include: * Support for Geolocation on all currently supported versions of Android * Numerous issues with the current Geolocation plugin that may involve a full re-write of the Geolocation plugins. * The Web Geolocation may be more energy efficient than our own Geolocation polling. What do people think about deprecating this plugin and recommending that we use the browser's implementation on Android? Joe
