These can include the following:

• A LocationMode name.
• An ILocationFilter which will be applied to all returned locations or position errors.
• Flags for optional extended location data.
• A timeout interval. If a location request does not complete within this time limit, it will throw a TransportException. This has no effect on asynchronous requests.

LocationOptions may be configured globally for the application in the client (see LocationOptions); some of these can also be set in a properties file using property names defined by DefaultClientFactory. For any given GetLocationAPI request that takes a LocationOptions reference, if that reference is null or if one of the object's properties has not been set, the corresponding property from the global configuration will be used instead.
