    Directory Positioning

    Recommended short description:

    Nitro-powered geolocation for React Native 0.75+ New Architecture apps. Use /compat to replace @react-native-community/geolocation, move to a typed Modern API, or add web foreground support and native background tracking/geofencing.

    Recommended caveat:

    Targets bare React Native/RN CLI apps with New Architecture enabled, Expo development/custom native builds, and Modern API or `/compat` web through navigator.geolocation. Expo Go and browser background location are not supported.
