maui-geolocationAdd geolocation capabilities to .NET MAUI apps using Microsoft.Maui.Devices.Sensors.
Maui Geolocation is an agent skill from davidortinau/maui-skills. Add geolocation capabilities to .NET MAUI apps using Microsoft.Maui.Devices.Sensors. Covers one-shot and continuous location, platform permissions (Android, iOS, macOS, Windows), accuracy levels, CancellationToken usage, mock-location detection, and a DI-friendly service wrapper. USE FOR: "geolocation", "GPS location", "get current location", "location permission", "continuous location", "location tracking", "GeolocationRequest", "mock location", "latitude longitude MAUI". DO NOT USE FOR: displaying locations on…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/geolocation-api.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps and Geospatial analysis. It works with Android, iOS and macOS. The repository describes itself as: .NET MAUI skills for GitHub Copilot and Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 79bb4bf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are csharp).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Maui Geolocation loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 162 tokens; SKILL.md has 316 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

or permissions are in a pending state. Always set a timeout.
// ❌ Hangs forever if no GPS fix is available
var location = await Geolocation.Default.GetLocationAsync(
new GeolocationRequest(GeolocationAccuracy.High));
// ✅ Times out after 30 seconds
using var cts = new CancellationTokenSource(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
var location = await Geolocation.Default.GetLocationAsync(
new GeolocationRequest(GeolocationAccuracy.High), cts.Token);Use the lowest accuracy that satisfies your feature. Higher accuracy drains battery significantly faster — especially on Android.
| Use case | Recommended accuracy |
|---|---|
| City-level / weather | Lowest or Low |
| Nearby search / store finder | Medium |
| Turn-by-turn navigation | High or Best |
Users can grant "approximate" location (accuracy > 1 km). Your app receives a location, but it may be useless for precision features.
location.Accuracy — values > 100 m likely indicate reduced precision.GeolocationRequest.RequestFullAccuracy with a key matching
NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary in Info.plist to
prompt for full accuracy.// ⚠️ Always check in security-sensitive flows (e.g., geofence, check-in)
if (location.IsFromMockProvider)
{
// Reject — user is spoofing location
}Altitude 0.0 is not sea levelSome Android devices return 0.0 for Altitude when the GPS has no
barometric sensor. Treat 0.0 as "unknown", not sea level.
ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION must be requested separately from foreground
permissions and triggers a distinct system dialog. Requesting it together with
foreground permissions causes both to be denied on some devices.
GetLastKnownLocationAsync returns nullThis is expected on first boot or after a location-data reset. Always fall
back to GetLocationAsync:
// ✅ Cache-first with fresh fallback
var location = await geolocation.GetLastKnownLocationAsync();
if (location is null || location.Timestamp < DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddMinutes(-5))
{
location = await geolocation.GetLocationAsync(
new GeolocationRequest(GeolocationAccuracy.Medium, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)), ct);
}Call Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.LocationWhenInUse>() first, or
catch PermissionException. Calling GetLocationAsync without permission
throws on some platforms and returns null on others — inconsistent
behaviour across platforms.
Failing to remove the LocationChanged handler when stopping causes
continued GPS usage and battery drain.
// ❌ Forgetting to unsubscribe — GPS stays active
public void StopTracking()
{
Geolocation.Default.StopListeningForeground();
// LocationChanged handler still fires!
}
// ✅ Always remove the event handler
public void StopTracking()
{
Geolocation.Default.StopListeningForeground();
Geolocation.Default.LocationChanged -= OnLocationChanged;

Add geolocation capabilities to .NET MAUI apps using Microsoft.Maui.Devices.Sensors. Maui Geolocation is an agent skill from davidortinau/maui-skills.Sensors.
Maui Geolocation fits situations like: get current location; location permission; continuous location; location tracking.
Run `npx skills add davidortinau/maui-skills --skill maui-geolocation -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/maui-skills/skills/maui-geolocation in davidortinau/maui-skills) into .claude/skills/maui-geolocation in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davidortinau/maui-skills --skill maui-geolocation -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/maui-skills/skills/maui-geolocation in davidortinau/maui-skills) into .agents/skills/maui-geolocation in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davidortinau/maui-skills --skill maui-geolocation -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/maui-geolocation, .gemini/skills/maui-geolocation, .github/skills/maui-geolocation and .opencode/skills/maui-geolocation in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Maui Geolocation is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Maui Geolocation is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Maui Geolocation: Engine Whats New (flutter/flutter, 179k stars), Ksafe (ioannisa/KSafe, 338 stars), Simfleet (entropyconquers/simfleet, 118 stars) and Maui AI Debugging (Redth/Maui.Gtk, 101 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
