A victory for common sense. Excellent news!

For quite a while now the geofencing API hasn't been much of a priority for us. Now in addition to that we're no longer convinced the geofencing API in its current shape is the best way to address the use cases we're interested in addressing. So with that in mind we've decided to stop work on the geofencing API in its current form.

Combine that outcome with this at the upcoming TPAC: -

Hello All,

The registration for TPAC 2016 is now open - relevant information is provided in the email attachment below.  There will not be a stand-alone meeting for the Geolocation Working Group, but there will likely be a joint meeting between the Geo WG and the Devices and Sensors (DAS) WG.  This should be confirmed soon, and will take place during the DAS WG's allocated meeting time (Sep. 19-20).

Thanks,

-Giri Mandyam, Geolocation Working Group Chair

An the scene is set for a ServiceWorker.TravelManager.subscribe() outcome or, more likely, a generic sensor.AddListener(filterOptions). Either way these are exciting times indeed. Good Luck!
