Enhance location-based features in applications

Note

This API is part of the Network APIs Playground. It provides a mock-up of the Device Location Retrieval API following CAMARA standard.
This playground version provides responses for:

predefined phone numbers associated with the unassigned country code +990 (e.g +99012345678)
user-defined phone numbers added using the Network APIs Playground - Admin API

What it does?

The CAMARA Device Location Retrieval API allows to retrieve the mobile device's geographical area position (via a circle in Orange implementation). The retrieved area depends on the network conditions at the subscriber's location.

How it works?

The requester provides the mobile ID. The response provides a geographical area defined with longitude / latitude number and an accuracy radius.
