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

> The use case that the travel partner gave me was "user gets on a plane in Vancouver, checks weather. Puts phone away. Flies to Boston, gets weather alert for storm in Boston, not Vancouver." Also, if the user is driving across the country or state, it wouldn't be practical to pre-set a geofence for the whole way.

I do fully agree that "Get the current location" might be something we should let service workers do, but to solve that particular use case with geofencing you'd set a geofence for the current location, with some reasonable radius, which would then wake up the service worker when the user has moved that far away.
