[FR] Chrome Browser for Windows to support Precise Location

Project Member Reported by dslo...@chromium.org, Oct 17 2016

Issue description

Version of Google Chrome (Wrench-> About Google Chrome): All
Version of MSI (if applicable): All
Using group policy settings? N/A

Windows 10 has a concept of "Precise Location" which can make use of hardware location signals like Cellular Triangulation and GPS. 

We have a customer who needs this for a Chrome Browser deployment.

blumberg@, dslovin@,  I guess you're referring to [1]? What's the status
of this bug?
Also, given that having GPS is not expected (right?), the next best source
of location will be WiFi SSIDs, but we're already using those if available
via wifi_data_provider_win.cc [2].
