I've been glancing at the googlelocation reference, but I have been unable to find any Google documentation on the Browser Location API. I'm wondering if that has potentially been deprecated, and, if so, maybe the documentation here should be updated?

Utilizing the API endpoint as defined in "googlelocation.agent.nut" does return location data, but I wonder if the reference should be updated to the Geolocation API.

It should be noted that the response body from the Geolocation API looks similar to that of the Browser Location API (contains a 'location' object with 'lat' and 'lng' as well as 'accuracy' data). Maybe it's simply been renamed...

Thanks for catching this. Not sure when they fully deprecated the Browser Location API, but it must have been in the last couple of months. I've added a task to our backlog to take a look at implementing a proper library for the Google Geolocation API.

I have written a class that will go in as a library soon. Until it does, you can check it out here.
