There's the [Wake Lock API proposal](https://w3c.github.io/wake-lock/). A quick look suggests that adding "locationTracking" to the specified wake lock types wouldn't be all that hard, and it would deal with the issue @RichardMaher raised of not needing e.g. the screen to stay on. There is a privacy issue of course, and implementing this in a way that gives users meaningful control is non-trivial.

Since location information can come from several sources, some active and some passive, can use varying amounts of battery power, and are pretty seriously privacy sensitive, there would be some important details to get right in implementation as well as specifying what belongs in spec and what in implementation detail..
