Amazon Sidewalk Location Library Developer Guide

The Amazon Sidewalk Location Library enables Sidewalk customers to use a range of cloud-based location solvers. Available in SDK >= 1.19, this library provides an API that automatically selects the most power- and time-efficient location mechanism based on available hardware and network conditions, while also giving developers finer-grained control to configure and override the mechanism used to determine location.

This developer guide covers the supported location methods and levels, the library architecture, a usage guide with worked examples for WiFi/GNSS (LR1110), BLE-only, and LoRa location, Platform Abstraction Layers, best practices, and requesting location resolution as part of a user message via sid_put_msg().
