Ross Heise has a quick walkthrough on adding geolocation to your Windows store Apps. Here’s a bit of code to whet your appetite: The Windows.Devices.Geolocation namespace is used for retrieving your location. Whether you use GPS, a WiFi network, or an IP address to retrieve a user’s location depends on two primary factors: The accuracy level requested. This is the ideal level of accuracy to meet your app’s needs. The availability of location data.  Meaning, not all devices have GPS built in.   Or a network or Wi-Fi connection may not be available when the location is requested. C# Geolocator geolocator = new Geolocator(); geolocator.DesiredAccuracy = Windows.Devices.Geolocation.PositionAccuracy.High; Geoposition pos = await geolocator.GetGeopositionAsync().AsTask(token); JavaScript var geolocator = Windows.Devices.Geolocation.Geolocator(); geolocator.desiredAccuracy = Windows.Devices.Geolocation.PositionAccuracy.high;   // Get the geoposition, capturing the request in a 'promise' object. var promise = geolocator.getGeopositionAsync(); […] For full details on using geolocation and the Bing Maps SDK, we have a new video, how-to topic , and code sample that leads you through the steps of asynchronously acquiring your location and then using the Bing Maps SDK to show where you are in a visual manner.
