We are excited to announce that you can now add location services to your Alexa skills to provide customers with real-time responses based on their location. Your skill can ask the customer’s permission to use the real-time location of their Alexa-enabled device, only at the time of their request, in order to provide key functionality for the skill or to enhance the customer experience. For example, a map skill could use location services to provide directions when a customer asks where they can find the nearest coffee shop. Location services are supported on the Alexa app and Echo Auto at launch, and will expand to other devices in the future.
