Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] Expose GeoLocation to workers (#745)

OK.  I've come to this late and have read the whole discussion - phew!

My use case is one where mobile workers need to be tracked by their employer during their work shift to allow their location to appear on a "control map".  This will improve the employees personal safety and also, if one employee is in distress it will be easy for the nearest other employee to be sent to give help.

Similarly, the controller can see which employee is nearest to a given location and can therefore despatch the closest employee to attend.

I am trying to do this using a PWA, but it currently fails to report the position whenever the browser is not being displayed.

Cutting to the chase, should I give up my PWA and write a native app, or is there a way to do this in a PWA?

I'd be grateful for any help with this decision.
