Implementing precise location-based services

The Orange Device Location Verification API allows to verify if a mobile device is within a geographical area. Currently the only area supported is a circle determined by the provided coordinates and accuracy.

The requester provides a verification area defined with longitude / latitude number and an accuracy radius. The response provides a verification result: true if the device is in the defined zone, false if it is not.
