"Position" is user's current position that is queried through HTML geolocation interface. Position is used to show marker on map and to initialize routing start location.
Note that in this context "Position" is not same thing as "Location". User's position will change during a trip but start and stop locations remain the same. Please refer to the terms for a detailed definition.
