Overview

Positioning API accepts requests with radio network measurements and replies with corresponding location estimate. For more details and examples, see [Developer's Guide](https://developer.here.com/documentation/positioning). Cellular measurements are given in terms defined in 3GPP and 3GGP2 specifications, see the corresponsing documentation at http://www.3gpp.org. Breaking changes from v1: - JSON fields `altaccuracy`, `baselat`, `baselng`, `cellparams`, `pilotpower`, `pnoffset`, `powrx`, `rxlevel`, have been deprecated and replaced with `altAccuracy`, `baseLat`, `baseLng`, `cellParams`, `pilotPower`, `pnOffset`, `rss`, `rxLevel` respectively. - Dependent parameters combined as a subobject. - CDMA, GSM, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and LTE local identification parameters for serving cell moved under `localId` property. - GSM neighbor global ID: `lac` and `cid` for neighbor cell moved under `globalIdentity` property.
