Re: [ServiceWorker] Expose GeoLocation to workers (#745)

@marcoscaceres I think you are being too end-user/device centric. I'll wager 3 sheep-stations and an oil-rig that Manuel's harvester drivers don't look at the phone from one field to the next yet the Farmer wants to be able to load the page at anytime and see a real-time feed of where his harvesters are and if one is heading home while Fred still has half a field to head then he'll ring him up and let him know.

How about a trucking company wants a central head office PC constantly tracking truck movements in real-time.

Dominos Pizza want to let users see where their pizza van is. The van driver doesn't have to have his phone screen on killing his battery for Pete's sake.

SW developers are simply being obtuse if you continue to deny the requirements for location tracking and not just a hamstrung, debilitated geoFence API.

User's want to know more than "Elvis has left the building"!
