# @system.geolocation (Geolocation)

The **geolocation** module provides only basic functions such as GNSS positioning and network positioning.

> **NOTE**
> - The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 3. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
> - The APIs provided by this module are no longer maintained since API version 9. You are advised to use [geoLocationManager](js-apis-geoLocationManager.md) instead.
