## What it is
The React Native community geolocation module providing the Geolocation web spec API for React Native apps. It supports iOS, Android, and web, including TurboModules and the modern Play Services FusedLocationProviderClient.

## Use cases
- get current GPS position in a React Native app
- watch user location continuously on iOS and Android
- request location permissions on mobile
- detect mocked/fake GPS locations
- use geolocation in React Native web

## When to choose
- building a React Native app that needs device location
- you want a maintained community module compatible with the new architecture
- you need cross-platform geolocation including web

## When to avoid
- targeting Windows or macOS
- building with Flutter, native iOS, or native Android instead of React Native
- you need advanced geofencing or background tracking beyond the web Geolocation spec
